yes this wasnt a good idea it was a md5.potfile, HASH:PLAIN, it took 3.5 TERABYTES, but i want to know how hashes.com, crackstation, use there hashlookup table, they must had a prehash file for refrence.

And it is worth adding that by using rules you will certainly crack more hashes than by searching in the generated potfile from a dictionary.
