Cant start hashing - kip1 - 08-25-2018
Hi, I am new to hashcat and I would appreciate any help with this, since it is my first contact with hashing. I am trying to extract my password from old zip file - 1KB. I have extracted the hash with zip2john and now have the hash in file. I am using AMD GPU RX480 8GB on Windows 10 64-bit with all latest updates and AMD drivers Adrenalin Edition 18.8.1 - latest. Hashcat is the latest - 4.2.1 edition. It sееms that I am missing some optional command (or something else), but I don't know what it is.
Hashcat is starting and after "Initializing device kernels and memory...." it is stopping. It looks like this:

Thank you in advance.

hashcat won't begin cracking until you give it some words, try providing a wordlist!

or a mask!
Dictionary: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=dictionary_attack
Code:
hashcat -m 0 -a 0 hash.txt wordlist.txtMask: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack
Code:
hashcat -m 0 -a 3 hash.txt ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?dRE: Cant start hashing - kip1 - 08-25-2018
Thank you guys. Unfortunately, I didn`t get different result with wordlist:

Is the syntax wrong? CommonPassword_PsycO_WPA.txt wordlist is in the same directory
I didn`t try mask, because as far as I can understand reading the wiki, I must know the length of the password which I don`t. Any suggestions?

Just wanted to post an update. The problem was with the driver - Adrenalin Edition 18.8.1. After removing it and installing Adrenalin Edition 18.5.1. everything works fine.
Si2006 thank you for the wordlists heads up. I will try to learn how to search in multiple wordlists.
JCas thank you for the mask heads up. I didn`t saw in wiki that I can increment.

My pleasure. Just be aware that such usage of a mask is a true brute force and should be used as a last ditch option. A brute force *will* crack the password but it *will* take an extremely long time - likely longer than any of us will live. Wordlists, rules, combinator/hybrid, and prince attack options should all be exhausted first for the most efficient crack.
