hashcat Forum

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting this to work. I keep getting the "Line-length exception ERROR: No hashes loaded" error, but I'm not even sure if my command is correct anyway.

I have a hash, let's call it 123mysha256hash123 which consists of $salt + $password

Now, I already know the $password is "John Smith", so how can I brute force the hash and find the salt?

My command so far:


I guess I'm looking to see if my rule parameter is correct and any other obvious weirdness you see.

Thanks!

First, for mode 1420 your hash needs to be formatted as hashalt

Second, your syntax is entirely wrong. Read the wiki article on mask attacks.
