Hashcat not getting any candidates from maskprocessor

[philsmd]

maybe whenever you find some free time, you could investigate this stdin problem further... did you try with a different terminal ? are you using linux ?

you could also try if "cat" (or windows "type" command) or echo on the left side work for you... I think this is some very weird stdin problem that may depend on your terminal etc.... but we would need to investigate this further where exactly this fails. The most likely thing is that hashcat receives some "EOF" byte. otherwise it shouldn't stop at all (it should keep waiting for input).

what happens with this command (attention: these commands are "wrong" on purpose ! left side is missing s.t. we see if hashcat is waiting):

Code:

./hashcat --stdout

(hashcat should wait kind of forever with this command)

or

Code:

./hashcat --status --status-timer 1 example0.hash

ATTENTION: both of these commands are kind of wrong, because they expect input from the pipe but there is no left side (this is just a test if hashcat is "waiting" for the input... do NOT use these commands in general)

update: the problem might depend on your OpenCL runtime for your CPU, try to uninstall it and test again. I saw some weird issues like this before and after removing the OpenCL Intel Core/Xeon Runtime, the problem didn't happen anymore... not sure why this is the case sometimes please test
