Character breaking up Salt - ontbijtkoe - 09-27-2011

I've been using hashcat to try and crack a hash with a salt but certain characters in the salt seem to break it up so hashcat does not recognize it anymore.


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:g%tNeD+11&2eUt#FYCI76XjQ!30HP5

(hope i'm allowed to post the hash)

I get the following error in the cmd screen
Code:
cudaHashcat-lite v0.6 by atom starting...

ERROR: invalid salt lenght '9'
2eUt#FYCI76XjQ!30HP5

So as you can see a whole part of the salt is missing. Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks

you hash must have length 32 and you need to use -m 15
