Hashcat starts then immediately stops - FishDuck - 03-20-2025
Hi
When I try and run hashcat, it says starting and then immediately returns to the command prompt.
D:\Tools\HashCat>hashcat -m 13711 -a 3 hash.tc testmask.hcmask
hashcat (v6.2.6) starting
D:\Tools\HashCat>
Not sure what to do. Please help.

Hi
Same thing happens. Hashcat starts then immediately stops. I am using a freshly downloaded copy of hashcat.
D:\Tools\HashCat>hashcat -I
hashcat (v6.2.6) starting in backend information mode
D:\Tools\HashCat>
Thanks

did you tried the last beta? or when using linux just compile latest git-version, and then try hashcat -I
if there is still no output, sry, no idea
