Hi,
Sometimes pot syncing is too slow for fork with dictionary attacks and
rules. Two or more processes are generating the same password candidates
using different word and rule.
Eg. If one process is at word 'foo' and will apply rule that would add
01 at the end and second process is at word 'foo0' and will apply rule
that would add 1 at the end - this will cause duplicates in pot file.
For some hashes and dictionary attacks with rules it's better to use
OpenMP than fork. It depends on hash, type of CPU and load.
Best Regards
