for dictionary attack (-a 0) it is:

Code:

hashcat -m 0 -a 0 -w 3 hashes.txt wordlist.txt

as you can see, you need to specify the file with hashes (hashes.txt) before the file with words (wordlist.txt)

or use

Code:

hashcat -m 1420 --example-hashes

to see how the lines must look like.

My guess is that you have a hash file with invalid hashes.

but just look above, hashcat told you:

Code:

Hashfile 'hashkiller-dict.txt' on line 6 (!Nt): Separator unmatched

so you definitely did something wrong before and incorrectly specified the hashkiller-dict.txt file as a hash file

It literally just said:

Code:

Hashfile 'xyz' on line 6 ...

The most important part is the "Hashfile" part. The filename of course is not what the error message is all about, it is just what you specified in the command line (an arbitrary file name).

It doesn't matter how you name your files or if they contain "dict" for wordlist etc...

The only important thing is that the command line and all its arguments are correct (and in some cases they also need to be in the correct order).

just try the example500.sh (or for windows example500.cmd) from the hashcat folder and see how the commands normally look like. of course the example500 file is for -m 500 and therefore you need to adapt both the hash type (-m) and the hash file (example500.hash into myunshadow.txt).

I did do that...here is the command i used:



 hashcat -m 1420 myunshadow.txt hashkiller-dict.txt
