What am I missing?
#1
I have used hashcat quite a bit in the past, but it's been a while so I might be missing something simple.  

I am using hashcat 4.1.0.  I used fgdump to dump a list of hashes.  Just to get my feet wet again, I created a simple text file with the password that I know matches to a username.  For example sake let's say the password is password.

For some reason hashcat is not cracking the password using my password file.  Here is the syntax I am using.

hashcat64 -a 0 -m 1000 dumpfile.pwdump password.txt

It recognizes the hashes and my password file, but it won't crack it.  But when I use the following brute force syntax it cracks it:

hashcat64 -a 3 -m 1000 dumpfile.pwdump passwor?a

Any ideas?
