Issue with same inputs. One worked, the other not - Nay - 07-22-2018

Hello,

I've been using hashcat on a md5 Cisco type and I ran the following issue.


First time I used :
hashcat -m 500 -a 3 -1 ?l?d?u '*****' ?1?1?1?1
And it ran exhausted. Then as  I wanted to compare speed, I've tried with the optimized version before trying longer masks :

hashcat -O -m 500 -a 3 -1 ?l?d?u '*****' ?1?1?1?1

The second was indeed way more fast, but what happened is that it cracked it on that second attempt. As the -O only optimizes the work, how could the first one not cracked it while the second did ? I really didn't get it.

Thank you for your opinion on this matter.

This is a typical error which occours if there's an OpenCL runtime problem, not a hashcat problem.

The only way to deal with it is to create a workaround. To find the workaround, we need to know the exacty steps to reproduce the problem locally.

If you don't want to share the exact details, you can try to create aritifical hash and mask and see if the problem exists with them, too (it should).


RE: Issue with same inputs. One worked, the other not - Nay - 07-22-2018

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I can share the exact details by PM if that's of any use ? Otherwise I'll try to reproduce it

Edit : I forgot to mention, when I don't use the -O parameter, prior to the job I have this message :

Initialized device kernels and memory...* Device #2: ATTENTION! OpenCL kernel self-test failed.
Your device driver installation is probably broken.
See also: https://hashcat.net/faq/wrongdriver

Does it mean this issue is caused by a driver issue ?


RE: Issue with same inputs. One worked, the other not - atom - 07-22-2018

Yeah that's clearly the OpenCL runtime then.

I've add more workarounds to buggy OpenCL runtime in the latest beta. If you want to try, you can find it on https://hashcat.net/beta/


RE: Issue with same inputs. One worked, the other not - Nay - 07-23-2018

Thanks Atom, unfortunately I'm on OSX and the beta release doesn't seem to have a .app to run it, if I'm not mistaken.

Besides, I've just made an artificial hash to reproduce the error, if that's still of any help :

1. With -O parameter, which worked :

hashcat -O -m 500 -a 3 -1 ?l?d?u '$1$pdQG$xpOTb2OXGpAY1qhATa5Oq.' ?1?1?1?1_test

2. Without -O parameter, didn't work :

Works fine with your example command:

I can not provide an .app executeable for macOS because there's no cross compiler available and I do not own any apple devices myself. You can download the latest version from GitHub yourself and retry with this version.


RE: Issue with same inputs. One worked, the other not - Nay - 07-24-2018

Hi Atom,

Thanks for the feedback. Running the hash on the new version didn't work for me without -O. Maybe some drivers issues on my Macbook. If I get a chance to try on Linux I'll update this post


RE: Issue with same inputs. One worked, the other not - Nay - 09-13-2018

Hi,

Just to inform than I still encounter the issue mentioned above on Macbook Pro High Sierra. A workaround was use CPU only with -D 1.
