RAR5 Separator unmatched
#1
hello,

I've tried to crack RAR5 but got this error:  Separator unmatched
I thought okay maybe the RAR5 is not supported but I've checked the DOC it's supported. I even tried to load the HASH which is in the wiki but got the same errror message.

hashcat.exe --force -D 2 -a 3 -O -m 13000 -i --increment-min=1 --increment-max=9 --session=RAR --hwmon-disable -o D:\RAR.CRACKED D:\RAR.CRACK

In the RAR.CRACK I have the SAME hash from the Document of hashcat:
$rar5$16$74575567518807622265582327032280$15$f8b4064de34ac02ecabfe9abdf93ed6a$8$9843834ed0f7c754

(Of course I get the HIPRTC shared library but I can't doanything against that with AMD on Win. So ignore that)

Thank you.

Double-check your hash in the file RAR.crack. Is it correctly formatted ? Typos ?
Also, you could try your command with the hash itself nicely between double quotes ("HASH").

Interesting.
So loading from the file fails for some reason. But I have exactly the same hash in the file. no spaces, no new lines nothing. raw copy paste.

Hash in the file nothing else: (The hash is from the hashcat wiki)

Still loading in problem:

I also use this method to read from file and write in a new file regularly for other hashes and never had this problem. pretty weird.

I see that the file containing the hash is "RAR.CRACK.txt".

However, in your command you only write "RAR.CRACK"
