## Technical details on the hashcat brain server ##
The hashcat brain server saves the long-term memory to disc every 5 minutes automatically
The server also saves the long-term memory if the hashcat brain server is killed using Ctrl-C
There's no mitigation against database poisoning - this would cost too many resources
There's currently no mitigation against an evil client requesting the server to allocate too much memory
Make sure your hashcat brain server is protected with a good password, because you have to trust your clients
I'll add a standalone hashcat brain seeding tool later which enables you to easily push all the words from an entire wordlist or a mask very fast. At this time you can use the --hashcat-session option to do so with hashcat itself
You can use --brain-server-whitelist in order to force the clients to use a specific hashlist
The protocol used is pretty simple and does not contain hashcat specific information, which should make it possible for other cracking tools to utilize the server, too

Most of the commands are self-explaining. I'm just adding them here to inform you which ones exist:
- Add new option --brain-server to start a hashcat brain server
- Add new option --brain-client to start a hashcat brain client, automatically activates --slow-candidates
- Add new option --brain-host and --brain-port to specify ip and port of brain server, both listening and connecting
- Add new option --brain-session to override automatically calculated brain session ID
- Add new option --brain-session-whitelist to allow only explicit written session ID on brain server
- Add new option --brain-password to specify the brain server authentication password
- Add new option --brain-client-features which allows enable and disable certain features of the hashcat brain
