No matter how long I wait, the brain doesn't show any more messages on the console and the client appears to not be doing any work:

I've stopped the brain (ctrl-c) and restarted and this continues to happen.  Even rebooted as well.

Here's the brain after i press crtl-c - nothing happened for 544 seconds:

Any tips?


RE: Hashcat brain stops working - walterlacka - 02-26-2021

Further testing reveals that brain-client-features=1 or 3 is when it stops working.  Based on what I've read, it sounds like mode 2 is less bandwidth intensive; however I cant see that being a problem given that Ive tested with brain server and client on same computer.  Ive also tested with client/server being on separate computers as well.  They are connected at 1 gbps Ethernet connections each on the same network switch on isolated VLAN.

Are there certain logs I can look at?


RE: Hashcat brain stops working - walterlacka - 02-26-2021

I'm running WIN10 with hashcat version 6.1.1.  Does that version contain the fix mentioned in this thread?

RE: Hashcat brain stops working - walterlacka - 03-03-2021

Wondering if anybody has a suggestion or 2 regarding this.  Thanks in advance.
