Is my config too weak ? - the_solid_snack - 07-13-2019
Hi everyone!
TL;DR when I enter
Code:
hashcat64.bin -m 0 -bNow, if you guys have time to read.
Let me start by saying I had never heard of Hashcat or mask attacks before tonight. I landed here, like many others before me, driven by sheer curiosity, the sole will to learn and develop myself as an individual, and absolutely not because I'm a dumbass who locked himself out of his password manager.
Please understand me : I did some research on my own before coming to bother you. My CS illiteracy is that serious that I did not know what a CLI was before tonight. Yet I did install hashcat, run the thing, found out about the commands and the concepts behind them. Where I'm going with this, is I feel like I've really tried my best. Yet I couldn't get any command to run. After a while, I tried the built-in benchmarking command, which resulted in an error message, the same I'm getting since the beginning, really :
Insufficient memory available
ADL_Adapter_AdapterInfo_Get(): -3
Now here's the thing. I'm home, but my actual (beloved) rig isn't. All I have on hands at the moment is a laptop with no GPU and a somewhat modest AMD CPU. Which leads me to my question : am I doing something wrong, or is there a minimal, required configuration, under which hashcat simply won't run ?
Thanks a bunch for your help!

It would certainly be useful to list your hardware if you want an opinion on that. Since you are using a laptop with CPU chances are pretty high it's not suitable for hashcat. (and running hashcat on laptops is not recommended anyway)
