Why cant i crack shit?

[FlippingGerman]

It's more likely something else isn't quite right. Generally even a fairly small dictionary will crack quite a few. Look at what you have cracked, and see if you can see any patterns. For example, the eharmony hash dump contains only uppercase letters, so using rockyou, best64.rule and an "upper.rule" that you make yourself, containing only "u", will crack probably > 50%.
