Hash $pkzip$1 not supported

[Hollerith98T]

instead of giving the mask inside a command line you can use a mask-file

inside a mask-file you can specify up to 4 charsets like on command line, charsets are divided by a comma so

mask.txt
?l?u?d},?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
would generate lower upper digits and }
be aware of the comma and ?2
?l?u?d,},?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?2
would generate passwords with lower upper digits and a } appended

As I said I need to use the following characters:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (lower)
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (upper)
0123456789 (number)
!#$%&()*-<=>?@_ (some special characters)

Looking at how you wrote yours, it should be correct to write it like this, do you confirm?

mask.txt
?l?u?d?!#$%&()*-<=>?@_,?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

your given file is 2 megabytes for just one hash, exactly 2.2990.797 chars, im pretty sure this cant be right, and a quick look the output line for the hash starts with
$pkzip$1
but all example hashes starts with
$pkzip2$1

so i think the output is somehow malformed

It is strange that one of the main developers of the john the ripper project was wrong to hash a zip file.
However I understand what you mean, could you tell me why this happens?

You always find the file at that link, can you be kind enough to try to generate your hash?

Thanks for your time
