that was useful advice.
hashcat is just a tool, and like most other tools used in skilled trades, it is useless in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use it. password cracking is more an art than it is science, and just as you can't pick up a paint brush for the first time and expect to paint a masterpiece, you can't just download a copy of hashcat and expect to be a successful password cracker. it takes skill, determination, and practice to master.
learn how to use the tool, spend 15 minutes to learn the fucking command line (the GUI is not supported here anyway), and learn how to actually become a password cracker. and most importantly, stop blaming the tool for your own failures.
