line length exception, and yes I read the FAQ - turbogiant76 - 07-28-2015

I have been working with hashcat for about a week now and have it running on my local box as well as a couple of EC2 instances.  I wanted to run a simple test with a 4 character password protected 7z archive to make sure all this work and computation I was shoving at this archive of mine I was trying to get into wasn't all for not and I was approaching this correctly.

So I created a 7z archive with a 4 character password, file names not encrypted, just like the archive I was trying to crack.  I ran it through 7z2hashcat.pl and saved the output to file.

When I try to run cudahashcat64, I get a line length exception.  I read the faq, checked for white space, I know I am using the correct hash type, and there is no username in the hash.  I know the file is there, and have been running hashcat with the same reference to other files without issue.  I even put the hash directly in the commandline:

cudahashcat64 -a 3 "<hash>" test.hcmask -w 2

I looked at the hash and it appears to be one character shorter then the one from the archive I am tyring to crack.  I don't know if that is because I used a shorter password or what.  I pulled the hash twice just to make sure.

Any idea what is going on?  Please help, thanks.

You're not telling Hashcat that the hash is 7zip.

Duh.  Thank you so much.
