noob here

[barishelp]

hi guys, my name is barış and ı am new to this stuff. also my english is not good so Please be understanding, thank you.
ı found a rar file in my google driver its from 2015. and its locked... ı dont know what inside but ı have to know. I've been working on this for days, I think it's been two weeks. and ı found out that some people will help me in this forum.

So please overlook my inexperience in this matter.
here we go

ı got a rar file, the name is Fht (for some reason?) and its locked. ı learned the jackthereaper and hash gods
also the good hashcat
ı have a hash, ı have a type (rar3), and ı have a hope. ı typed hashcat.exe -m 12500 -a 3 -w 4 -d 1 -d 2 -o crackedserdar.txt $rar3$*0*e43478c3e9a378f4*38bc0fe86c6decbd5b0d011b87c3e289 and ı think it said "you dont have a gpu?" ıdk. everything is in the attachment txt 

Please tell me if I've missed anything or omitted anything in this text. I don't want to get banned; I just need to know what's inside that file.

have a nice day

update! ı am using this now hashcat.exe -m 12500 -a 7 -w 4 -d 1,2 -O -o crackedserdar.txt $RAR3$*0*e43478c3e9a378f4*38bc0fe86c6decbd5b0d011b87c3e289 C:\Users\LENOVO\Desktop\hashcat\hashcat-7.1.2\example.dict ıdk what to do

[TheBogeyman]

-d 1,2 you do not need
from -w 4 change to -w 3 (doesnt need to be on hard)
hashcat.exe -m 12500 -a 0 -w 3 -O -o crackedserdar.txt $RAR3$*0*e43478c3e9a378f4*38bc0fe86c6decbd5b0d011b87c3e289 example.dict
rest is ok,.. BUT,...

was password only 3 characters long?
or first of all,y ou need to create some aproximation of a password, leinght, how you think it was created (example: Test1234* so Upper letter, 3 lower ones and 4digits and special character at the end) and then create mask to narrow the attack.

from attached txt i can see only 3 character long password which i think is not ok?
on update you are using hybrid attack with,.. why?

[b8vr]

Be aware that -d and -D are two different things. Also, in the last message you use -a7. That is a hybrid attack where you need to supply a mask followed by a wordlist. There's no mask in your command.
An example of that is

Code:

hashcat.exe -m 12500 -a 7 -w 3 -O -o crackedserdar.txt $RAR3$*0*e43478c3e9a378f4*38bc0fe86c6decbd5b0d011b87c3e289 ?l?l?l example.dict

That would create 3 lowercase chars in front of each password candidate in the wordlist.

my last code : "hashcat.exe -m 12500 -a 3 -w 4 -d 1,2 -O -o crackedserdar.txt $RAR3$*0*e43478c3e9a378f4*38bc0fe86c6decbd5b0d011b87c3e289 --increment --increment-min=7 --increment-max=10 -1 abcdefghijklmnoprstuvyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPRSTUVYZ0123456789 ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1"

and ı remember the password... soo.... I learned very little coding for nothing.
