Hi, there!
How to run Hashcat v6.2.6 on Arch Live USB? See below for details, an Internet connection is required.
My thanks to ZerBea, his tools inspired me to learn Arch.
This post is a continuation of my previous post
https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-10548.html
Use at your own risk, corrections and improvements are welcome.
My main OS is still Windows. I use a Live USB to boot and run Arch.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_USB
My notebook has an Intel Celeron CPU.
Be advised, notebooks are generally not suitable for hashcat.

Download Arch Linux image (currently the latest version is archlinux-2023.03.01-x86_64.iso)
https://archlinux.org/download/
Create a bootable USB flash drive (Live USB)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB_fla...ion_medium
I prefer Rufus in ISO image mode.
Download the latest hashcat.
https://hashcat.net/files/hashcat-6.2.6.7z
Extract this archive to folder hashcat-6.2.6
Copy this folder to USB flash drive.
Copy also three scripts:
pre.sh connecting to wifi, preparing to run the graphical user interface (GUI)
hcx.sh installing hcxdumptool and hcxtools
hcat.sh installing the software needed to run hashcat on my Intel CPU
Edit pre.sh
Enter your favorite Arch mirror, wireless device, SSID and passphrase, timezone.
Keep in mind, the GUI is just for user convenience.
Hashcat, hcxdumptool and hcxtools do not need GUI.
Use CLI instead of GUI to save memory and CPU cycles.
Boot from USB flash drive.
Then check which device corresponds to flash drive.
lsblk -f
Usually it is sdb1
mount -m /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
/mnt/sdb1/pre.sh
After pre.sh is finished, run hcx.sh or hcat.sh
To run the GUI as non-root, switch to tty2 and run from there:
Ctrl + Alt + F2
startx
Main key combinations of i3 (a tiling window manager)
mod + Shift + e to exit i3
mod + Enter to open terminal
mod + d to open dmenu
mod + 1 to switch to 1st workspace
mod + 2 to switch to 2nd workspace
mod is the Win key or the Alt key
