Yes. That is multiple concurrent cracking sessions via a tabbed interface. What you implemented so far is just session history, keep working on it though as it'll get its own task. I like the screenshot you have on Github, but wee need to do something about the names. The dates are not enough, maybe also add the source password files as tooltips. Later maybe we should be able to name sessions.
