[New User] Unlocking excel file-failed to parse hashes - thedorkknight - 05-24-2018
Hi,
I need to unlock a few old excel files and I chanced into hashcat by reading this article:
http://pentestcorner.com/cracking-microsoft-office-97-03-2007-2010-2013-password-hashes-with-hashcat/
Follow through the steps mentioned but kept getting the "Failed to parse hashes using the 'native hashcat' format." error.
Command I use:
hashcat64.exe -a 0 -m 9700 --username -o found.txt hash.txt pass.txt
I have no clue regarding the password or the version of the Excel file is.
Please help. Heres the entire message that I got:

Sounds like the hash isn't in the expected format. If you try the exact same attack on the example 9700 hash here:
https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes
... does your attack work? If so, the problem is the format of the hash itself. If you post it (with most of its random-looking alphanumeric characters masked with "X"), the format might be identifiable.

I have stumble upon the password of the files so I will close this thread.
However I have another question in which I will open in another thread.
