CrackQ Queuing System Explained

The Queue System

CrackQ uses Redis for queuing, there are currently 3 queues:

• default - This is the main queue which you see in the GUI.
• speed_check - This is a hidden queue which runs as soon as a job is added to the main queue. It triggers a pause operation in the main queue while it performs a **show check and a **speed_only check.
• reports - This queue handles the processing of a password analysis report request.

There will be at least one additional queue included at a future date to handle low priority jobs that should only crack during idle time.

If you ever experience any unexpected issues with the queuing, the best workaround is to disable the brain during job creation.
