Yes, but can you resume work or start from a specified combination from/to?


Nope. Back to Cyclone.

Bit-flipping in keys isn’t like counting (1, 2, 3…). It’s like:

Throwing a dart blindfolded → Each attempt is independent.

No memory → Flip #10001 isn’t ‘closer’ to the answer than #1.

Hash functions avalanche effect → Change 1 bit, the entire output mutates unpredictably.

You can’t ‘start where you left off’ because the flips aren’t ordered.



Yeah, ok, for a while I tought that the possible number of combinations are fixed and repeating each time that we start the programm, and we need to go through them.
