Hello! I would greatly appreciate your help as I am sure you are much more knowledgeable about this than me. Hashcat has not been working for me for a while as I constantly receive a "dictionary cache hit" message as soon as hashcat starts running. I am not able to crack even the simple md5sum for "password". When running the command as shown below, rockyou.txt exhausts after 20 seconds of running which is ridiculously fast for my specs.
