Hi,

i'm trying to brute force attack wpa2, but i always get same error :


Code:
hashcat-4.0.1>hashcat64.exe -a 3 -w 3 -m 2500 crack.hccapx ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d

  3. Running a file "\hashcat-4.0.1\example0.cmd"

Hi, 

thank you for your reply. Hashcat still outputs the same error : 

Code:
hashcat-4.1.0>hashcat64.exe -a 3 -w 3 -m 2500 crack.hccapx ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d
hashcat (v4.1.0) starting...

./hashcat.outfiles: No such file or directory

Stopped: Thu Feb 08 14:10:45 2018

I also tried (same error)  :
  1. Running a file "\hashcat-4.1.0\example0.cmd" 
  2. hashcat64.exe -m 2500 -w 3 crack.hccapx rockyou.txt

Just a silly question, but did you use an admin account to create the hashcat-4.0.1 folder but then you are running hashcat64.exe with a non admin account? Maybe the problem is that there are no write permissions in the folder.

hi,

DanielG thank you for your answer. Your suggestion worked!
Windows 10 has removed my permissions in hashcat-4.1.0 folder and made it read-only folder. 
It was a simple fix : (I just go to the folder Properties/Security tap and give myself "full control" and "modify" permission).
