TESLA M60 - signature unmatched

[Interzone]

Thanks good idea. I copied the example hash into a new text file and it worked!

The I also noted a character missing at the front of my hash, '$' 

Edited and created a new .txt file copied over the hash

Now getting Salt-value exception error

try newest beta version of hashcat from https://hashcat.net/beta/

does the example hash from https://hashcat.net/wiki/example_hashes work for you ?
