Got it working now..
I have my data saved in the form username:hash:hex(salt)
I wrote a program to parse the data, and output it to a file saved in the form hash:ascii(salt)
The resulting file appears corrupt on my system (Linux based) and is not readable by any text editor I have installed. However, hashcat can read most of the data and crack the hashes
Thanks for your help guys All along my problem has arisen from me not trying hashcat on a corrupt file as I thought it would be unable to read it...
