descrypt-ztex: attacks without big mask cause timeouts and "task already completed" errors on underclocked boards #3834
Description
Using too small mask or attack without mask and setting frequency on for decrypt-ztex lower than default 190, I get rather frequent timeouts with 1 ztex board. Also I get "PROCESSING_DONE id=1: task already completed" errors. It does not seem to happen with big masks like '?w?a?a?a'.
$ echo AAnfJdS9QQ3FE > t.pw # crypt.crypt('8Cx6UO2n', 'AA')
$ printf '.include <john.conf>\n[ZTEX:descrypt]\nFrequency = 180\n' > d.conf
$ john t.pw --incremental --mask='?w?d' --config=d.conf
