In this manual and in Hashtopolis itself, we use several terms. So let's make them clear:
- Agent: A computer running a Hashtopolis client 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, ...).
- Supertask: A grouped number of subtasks. This task itself is not really a task, it just puts all the subtasks together so they can be viewed as one "whole" task.
- Subtask: Is inside a supertask. It has the same properties like a normal task, except that it's priority is only relevant inside the supertask.
- Keyspace: Every task has a predefined key space which says how big set of keys will be searched. Important note: They keyspace shown on the UI is NOT indicative of the ACTUAL keyspace for a particular attack. To find out more about how the keyspace value is derived please see the hashcat wiki.
- 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.
- Group: User group which manages access to hashlists/tasks/agents. Used to apply a fine-grain access management.

Some very detailed explanations about some parts of Hashtopolis , what the idea behind them was and how they work.
