Using Hashcat with vast.ai

[marc1n]

Take it easy on me here, I am more beginner than I realised.

Due to hardware issues, I am looking to enlist the services of vast.ai for the time being.

I have used the service before for other stuff, but not hashcat.

I have headed over there, started up a machine using dizcza/docker-hashcat/, changed into the hashcat directory and copied over my hccapx file, and then ran hashcat as I would on my local machine, only getting the error twice that no hashes loaded (once in red and once in orange). I have double checked, and my hccapx file is definitely in the hashcat directory. The hccapx file is the very same one I was half way through on my local machine, so I know the file is OK.

I can run the benchmark and all goes fine, but no matter what I do, it just keeps coming up with the no hashes loaded errors.

My other question is, I am halfway through a recovery on my failed hardware at the moment. Can I transfer the .restore file over and continue from there?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks

I use docker bnzm5270 / hashcat myself and never had any problems, Read the FAQ on the Vast website about How do I upload / download files to my instance.
