How to enable potfile with mode 99999 (plaintext)? - MrWonderful - 06-25-2024
When I try to crack passwords with mode 99999 (plaintext), no potfile is created.
This seems to be normal behavior, as the changelog states the following under the section changes v6.2.2 -> v6.2.3:
Quote:- Potfile: Disable potfile for hash-mode 99999
Okay. But I do want the potfile to be able to use the --left option, so what do I do?
In the hashcat wiki, I do not see any feature to enable potfile, only to disable potfile.
Thanks.

There's no way to enable it, unfortunately. The easiest way would probably be to backdate to before that fix, 6.2.2 or generate the password's hashes with MDXFind or something and use -m 0 with your current binaries.

That's unfortunate, but thank you for the answer! At least, I can work around this limitation.
