"it's not working" is no acceptable problem description. If you have error messages post them. If you have no error messages explain what you are experiencing and what you would expect to happen.

In your case you're using a1 with only one dict.

can anybody help me ?


RE: Hashcat not working - philsmd - 05-24-2019

-a 1 is for concatenating two dicts, use -a 0 instead (with one dict)

Code:
hashcat -m 0 -a 0 '/root/md5/hashpassword.txt' '/root/md5/rockyou.txt'
