Seemingly no-crack attemps - gsamuelhays - 11-19-2012
I'm just learning to use the hashcat tool. I have a test.md5 file I'm using that has md5-hashed test passwords. When I run the tool, the output looks like this:
>hashcat-cli64 -m 0 -a 3 --pw-min=3 --pw-max=9 -o .\cracked.txt -1 ?l?d?s?u test.md5 mask
Initializing hashcat v0.41 by atom with 8 threads and 32mb segment-size...
Added hashes from file test.md5: 55 (1 salts)
NOTE: press enter for status-screen
Input.Mode: Mask (mas)

as one can see, it doesn't seem to actually do anything. I'm certain that I'm missing some key thing here. Can someone help?
Thanks

it does do something :

It only tries one password.
Clue : "Input.Mode: Mask (mas)"

Oh - I understand. Not the word mask - but the actual mask. <sigh> Alright. For the sake of completeness - the solution for my issue (for anyone with a similar problem in the future) was this:
hashcat-cli64 -m 0 -a 3 -o .\cracked.txt test.md5 ?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h?h --pw-min=3 --pw-max=9
notice I actually put the mask.
