oclhashcat32.exe -a 0 -m 500 --username hash.txt pass.txt

Keeps bringing up line length exception Sad




another thing is when I crack just the hashes, speed is like 40p/s on 60k hashes.. so slow, using amd 7970
Confirmed for the exception, please add a trac ticket for this issue : https://hashcat.net/trac/

Then for speed, if you didn't already know it, md5crypt uses a salt, and a high number of iterations (1000), so the speed is at most raw md5 speed divided by 1000 and also number of salts, which gives your 40p/s.

Didn't know the specifics but I knew about the slow speed, just wondering if there was some special setting to make it faster XD

Submitting now.
The trac ticket https://hashcat.net/trac/ticket/441 was fixed and next version will include the bug fix.

For speed you can play around w/ -w 3 (OR -u -n values, but -w 3 should give you good results). Indeed, md5crypt is slow because of the iterations (and some other stuff, so not only / 1000 but there is little more to that), futhermore oclHashcat divides the speed by 60k in your case, because each plain needs to be combined w/ the salt corresponding to the hash (so each of those 60k combinations are unique, instead of having the same salt).
Thanks Phil.
