hash-file question (User-name in hash-file)

[joe123]

Hello

are there any cases where Hashcat needs to user-name in the hash.file, like the following?

joe:32characters-ntlm-hash


Thank's a lot!

well no, the hashfile can follow two styles

hash:[salt]
username:hash:[salt]

but per se the username is useless, when using a file with username you have to use option --username to tell hahscat to skip that part
