Hi there! I really hope anyone can help me on this issue.

I am trying to hash a forgotten password somehow get this error the whole time. I tried a lot and tried finding a solution online, but haven't found one yet.

I have given the terminal full access and the folder really exists. I tried two ways: drag and drop the folder (first option, gives the whole path) and just write the name (hash.txt, wordlist.txt). If needed to know: installed hashcat through Homebrew.

Any help/suggestions on would be amazing! Thank you!!

didnt used a mac and homebrew for quite some time, but i think it needed root rights? so i think its a rights problem

you could test starting hashcat with sudo
