trying to learn hashcat - ari2asem - 04-14-2026
first of all.....this is learning project for me
situation is next:
- i have multivolume RAR-files (part01, part02.....part11)
- it has hash format 12500 rar3-hp
- i know the password (lower alpha and numeric). i can unrar the archive. so i am not after the password, but trying to learn the use of hashcat.
- i made wordlist of 430 different entries with lower-alpha and numbers.
hashcat can't recover my password.
command is
Code:
>hashcat.exe -a 0 -m 12500 -w 3 -S --session=tmp62B7 --potfile-disable -p : --hwmon-temp-abort=75 -o "C:\Users\xxxx\Downloads\hashcat-7.1.2\output.txt" --outfile-format=1,2 "C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp62B7.tmp" "C:\Users\xxxx\Downloads\random-wordlist-generator-portable\nieuw.2.txt"
hashcat (v7.1.2) starting - session [tmp62B7]and this the result of the running session
