Seperator unmatched on zip file - NotNilegs - 01-15-2026
Currently trying to crack a very large (750mb) zip file. Used zip2john to get the hash (around 20mb). Then fed it into hashcat using command "hashcat -a 0 -d 2 -m 13600 hash.txt wordlist.txt" and got the following:
"Counted lines in hash.txt
Oversized line detected! Truncated 5129961 bytes
Oversized line detected! Truncated 5129961 bytes
Hashfile 'gbhash.txt' on line 1 ($zip2$...53b1cd6262a77ed6eedafebfc67bec73): Separator unmatched
No hashes loaded."
I have followed youtube tutorials and tried the example hashes, which worked, aswell as fixed that were said to work from people on the form (i.e putting your hash in single quotes), so I have no clue why this would happen. Any help is appreciated

It would seem you have fallen upon a size limit - or maybe an error - in hashcat.
I don't think there's a current solution in hashcat - unless you're using a version older than 7 - then I would say you should update.
Otherwise, you should create an error report on the github repo.
