"hashcat: No such file or directory" Unsure what I'm doing wrong - Commmett - 09-03-2015
Hi all,
I'm attempting to crack an NTLM hash, it's only 8-digits (according to a cracking service I used) and am having a number of issues.
First of all, here's what my current command looks like:
hashcat-cli64.exe hashcat -a 3 -1 ?a -m 1000 -o complete.txt -n 4 hashfile hash.txt
Originally I had a "--pw-min=8" but hashcat said that's only used for a prince attack (the wiki shows it's used for brute force as well?)
Right now when I run the command, it reports the following:
C:\hashcat>hashcat-cli64.exe hashcat -a 3 -1 ?a -m 1000 -o complete.txt -n 4 hashfile hash.txt
Initializing hashcat v0.50 with 4 threads and 32mb segment-size...
hashcat: No such file or directory
Any help is appreciated, I just want to brute force this password, by whatever means possible.

"hashcat: No such file or directory"
because there is no file called "hashcat" in the same folder hashcat-cli64.exe is in.
So put your NTLM hash into a file called hash.txt and save it to the hashcat-cli64.exe folder.
Then try this command instead (tries all 8-digit numbers):
hashcat-cli64.exe hash.txt -a 3 -m 1000 -o complete.txt ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d
