ok if mask is defined on cli but not if in mask.hcmask - joe123 - 05-09-2023
Hello
how it comes that if the NTLM-hast and the Mask are defined like the following in the CLI, Hashcat does
find the password,
$ hashcat -m 1000 -a 3 dell-ntlm-hash.txt ?d?d?d?d
but no so if the Hash and Mask are stored in files ?
─$ hashcat -m 1000 dell-ntlm-hash.txt dell-mask.hcmask
hashcat (v6.2.5) starting
Error message:
"The wordlist or mask that you are using is too small"
Thank's in advance for any feedback!
Joe

You didn't use -a 3 for the second command, so hashcat is using it as a wordlist instead of a list of masks.

Thank you Xanadrel! With -a 3 it does work perfect
