hashcat Forum

Hello, I'm French so I use a translator!
I started using hashcat, I wanted to test into crack a series of numbers, but I always find this error is in the picture!
This is the hash : 9ojABM3KScnl40bja60+p7asfJz5A8bmY4DOblHxCe8=

these are not exactly SHA1 hashes but base64(hex(sha1($pass))) ones. You need to base64-decode the hashes before you can crack them.

when I decode, I do not get a readable writing, I 'got special characters ect ...
Where am I wrong :'( ?

I believe that's correct. Try writing that into a file, then give hashcat the path to the file to read instead of passing the hash on the command line.

I tried and it still does not work!
I dunno what to do: S

You have to convert it to HEX, not to binary. For example, go to this site: http://x00.co/~tools/ and choose "Base64 decode to hex". With your hash, it will result an 64 byte string, which is usually SHA256 not SHA1.

Thank you very much, it works perfectly: D!
