Hash 'hashes': Token length exception No hashes loaded. - emersonivo - 02-01-2020
Hi all,
I am a newbie/self-learning on security field and I was playing with hashcat to learn when I got stuck (on my first exercice
)I created a file with a single line having the below hash.
I toke care to create using sublime_text, saving with encode UTF-8, checking for spaces or special characters (I removed the ones below from md5sum command output), but nothing helped to solve this.
$ echo "password" | md5sum > myhash
286755fad04869ca523320acce0dc6a4 -
$ cat myhash
286755fad04869ca523320acce0dc6a4(space and dash removed)
$ ./hashcat64.bin -m 0 hashes myhash
hashcat (v5.1.0) starting...

Could someone help me? Please!!!

the command should be:
Code:
./hashcat64.bin -a 0 -m 0 myhash mydictboth files myhash and mydict need to exist
the error message that you got, says that the file "hashes" can't be found and therefore hashcat tried to load it as Hash
But you didn't want it to be a hash directly... you wanted to specify a path... the problem is that the file must exist.
for alternative to -a 0, you can just look at the output of:
Code:
./hashcat64.bin --help-a 0 = wordlist (dict.txt)
-a 1 = combinator (dict1.txt + dict2.txt)
-a 3 = mask/brute-force
-a 6 = word+mask
-a 7 = mask+word
you are NOT allowed to post hashes here (see https://hashcat.net/forum/announcement-2.html)
btw: you can't use "echo" like this, because it adds newlines by default (see https://hashcat.net/wiki/?id=frequently_asked_questions#i_created_a_hash_with_echo_test_md5sum_but_hashcat_fails_to_crack_it)
