Terminology

In this manual and in Hashtopussy itself, we use several terms. So let's make them clear:

Agent: A computer running the Hashtopussy binary and Hashcat doing the cracking itself.
Hashlist: A list of hashes saved in the database. Hashlist can be TEXT, HCCAPX or BINARY with most hashlists being the first category.
Task: A specific attack. Every task has a command line defining how Hashcat will be executed. Files can be assigned to a task (wordlists, rules, ...).
Key space: Every task has a predefined key space which says how big set of keys will be searched.
Chunk: A chunk is a part of a keyspace assigned to a specific agent. If a chunk times out, it (or its part) will be reassigned to next free agent.
