Hash-encoding exception ?

[jakobm]

Hi,

I've tried to make an MD5 hash with a salt in different ways from the Ubuntu command line for testing purposes. I keep getting this error message:

Hash-encoding exception

For instance when running 

Code:

./hashcat64.bin -m 20 -a 3 'hashvalue'

also 

Code:

./hashcat64.bin -m 10 -a 3 'hashvalue'

gives me the same error. 

When using -m 0 I get 'Line-length exception' which seem more common. I cannot find any references to 'Hash 'hashvalue': Hash-encoding exception' except in the hashcat source-files. 

I hope you can help me.

Best regards.

Ps.

I generated the hash-value by using

Code:

python3 -c 'import crypt; print(crypt.crypt("password", crypt.mksalt(crypt.METHOD_MD5)))'

in the command line.
