		Hi,
i try to bruteforce a simple hash (pw: test) and im use this command line:
./hashcat-cli32.bin -m 0 -a 3 --pw-min=4 --pw-max=4 hash.txt ?l
But i only get this output:
Initializing hashcat v0.42 by atom with 8 threads and 32mb segment size...
Added hashes from file hash.txt: 1 (1 salts)
Activating quick-digest mode for single-hash
NOTE: press enter for status-screen

Why hashcat wont crack the hash?

		Ive also tried ./hashcat-cli32.bin -m 0 -a 3 hash.txt ?l?l?l?l but the result is the same

		There's something fundamental wrong.
Try creating the hash with a known program, make it simple:
md5 -s "a"  
for example.
If you can't crack that, then your distribution may be corrupt, or something equally strange.   The program works just fine in brute force mode for me.

		DaaQ, post the hash your testing...

		that's not the correct md5 hash of the word "test"
it should be this:

		Yep, same result here. Why echo test | md5sum isnt the correct hash? oO

		use this command instead of echo:   md5 -s "test"
works for me
./hashcat-cli64.app -a 3 md5.txt ?l?l?l?l

because you did "echo test" instead of "echo -n test", which means you hashed "test\n" instead of "test"
