slow_candidates doesnt work - Scanel-sys - 08-22-2024

I try to get password candidates with
``` .\hashcat.exe -a 3 --stdout --markov-disable --slow-candidates -1 ?l ?1```
and it passes me out NULLs instead of symbols and thats it
If i use ```-o output_file.txt" - the result is the same

Does hashcat work properly? Probably I use it in a wrong way

There's no reason to use --slow-candidates with --stdout but it's rather strange that it's outputting nulls

I would like to generate passwords on CPU and pass it to stdout
Is it wrong?

--slow-candidates has nothing to do where the passwords are generated its a more complex password generator when it comes to bruteforce (and i think markov chains, like on normal bruteforce are definitly a part of it ) 

but yeah i can confirm, --slow-candidtes is outputting binary 00 0d 0a

000d 0a00 0d0a 000d 0a00 0d0a 000d 0a00
0d0a 000d 0a00 0d0a 000d 0a00 0d0a 000d
0a00 0d0a 000d 0a00 0d0a 000d 0a00 0d0a
000d 0a00 0d0a 000d 0a00 0d0a 000d 0a00
0d0a 000d 0a00 0d0a 000d 0a00 0d0a

just remove thiis part and you get your desired output (ordered output when using --markov-disable)

May I get the command line which you sent to hashcat?

RE: slow_candidates doesnt work - Snoopy - 08-26-2024

Code:
hashcat.exe -a3 --stdout --markov-disable ?l

resulting in output a to z

without --markov-disable you get a scrambled output based on markov

Code:
hashcat.exe -a3 --stdout ?l

dont need the use of -1 when using build in charsets

You write it without
Code:
--slow-candidates
flag
It works for me as well without this flag cuz its another regime

i opened a bug report on github

but anyway, a simple question, as long as you want to output a mask to a file it doesn't matter whether you use --slow-candidates or not, you intend to output ALL possibilities

I need some pswd gen functionality which you cant find in hashcat utils but hashcat has
Thats why its important for me if I can generate with / without slow-candidates

Rule generator, maskprocessor (mp which has its own git cant generate bit data, but mp which is part of hashcat can) and etc

Thanks for opening bug report
