Hi,
I have four computers that I use regularly - an i5 iMac, an i7 Windows box, an i7 laptop and an i5 machine running Linux Mint. None of them will run the current version of Hashcat because (I think) the GPUs are not up to snuff. I get OpenCL errors on them all. I am currently looking for a later model GeForce card to stick into the Windows box.
In the interim, I would like to confirm that the hashes that I am producing are correct and I would like to run one against a simple dictionary file (containing the password) . If Hashcat correctly cracks it, I will know that my hashes are right.
To get around the problem of no working version of Hashcat, and bearing in mind that the computational task is not going to be very onerous, I thought that I would see if I could find a CPU-only version of Hashcat. A short search lead me to https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat-legacy which purports to be a CPU-only version however, following the instructions in the documentation gives me not version 1 or 2 as I am expecting, but bloody version 5.1 again.
Is there any kindly expert out there who could lead a baffled novice through the process needed to get the CPU-only legacy version up and running so that I can carry out my simple tests on any of the above machines?
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
