Stdin and stdout simultaneously - devilsadvocate - 11-17-2017
Is it possible to use hashcat to use both stdin and stdout with hashcat simultaneously in order to generate candidates with --stdout?
I can only get this to work if I am using a file as the input to hashcat. If I want to feed hashcat with stdin, it doesn't work.
This is an example that won't work.
./data_generator.sh | ./hashcat64.bin -r ./rules/dive.rule --stdout --outfile-autohex-disable
My goal is to use hashcat and its available rules in order to modify whatever I feed it via stdin.
Should this work or is it not a feature?

Yes this already works.
You must be doing something wrong, because this is working perfectly fine here.
You can troubleshoot it with just an echo command, e.g:
echo test | ./hashcat64.bin --stdout -r ./rules/dive.rule --outfile-autohex-disable

Is there a maximum input length? Perhaps 31 or 32 characters?
I will experiment.

I'll have to review my script, but this worked as a solution:
./data_generator.sh | while read line; do echo $line | ./hashcat64.bin -r ./rules/dive.rule --stdout --outfile-autohex-disable;done
<output with rules>
Weird that it doesn't work without doing this.
Cheers.
