I'm sorry if I find this a bit confusing as to your reference here of 'likely
yield a lower success rate at cracking passwords WHICH YOU DID _NOT_ ALREADY
HAVE CRACKD by the time your generate the .chr file.
In my case I would be choosing to to generate a .chr file with a fake .pot
based on my prior knowledge of certain characteristics of the passwords ( such as
upper and lower alpha sans additional chraacters or numbers ) the purpose
being in order to yeild a higher success rate by eliminating what i know
not to be characteristic of the passwords. I'm confused as to what you're
referring to in the passwords 'which you did not already have cracked by the time
of chr file generation' ?!
