Way to see what the latest guess was? - wifiguy - 10-15-2022
Is there a way to see what the latest brute force guess was? Pressing S to show the status doesn't seem to show it. I want to know what combination it's up to, for example 10000001 or 1000002 etc, to see where in the list it's up to, and also to make sure I have my charset correct.

use --stdout to demo your attacks. By default hashcat does not attack in a sequence (1,2,3,4,5 etc), hashcat will use Markov to estimate the most probable candidates and use them first. If you want to attack in a sequence you will have to disable markov using --markov-disable. Otherwise, when using --stdout you will not need to define your hashes, it is strictly for printing the output of your attack for multiple other purposes.
