trouble with brute-force - namiman - 09-07-2016
I'm new to hashcat, and I can't seem to get the syntax right.
I have a file "hash" with the content "a94a8fe5ccb19ba61c4c0873d391e987982fbbd3" <- sha1 of "test"
and a file "pass" with the content of "test"
If I run "hashcat -m 100 -a 0 hash pass", it succeeds, Status.........: Cracked
But when I try to brute-force it with "hashcat -m 100 -a 3 hash ?l?l?l?l"
it comes back with Status.........: Exhausted
Any suggestions?

So weird. I tried again, this time with 3.0.0, but its still the same. Success on the dictionary, and failure on the bruteforce.
RE: trouble with brute-force - bastibasti - 09-07-2016
works here on 2.0(cpu) and 3.1 (opencl nvidia)
RE: trouble with brute-force - namiman - 09-08-2016
Looks like someone else had the same problem and it may be an issue with OSX and nvidia, although I feel like ALL methods of cracking would fail in that case, rather than one working and another one not.
