Problem with hash-type?
#1
Hi,

I have an old Unix password file and I'm testing the speed of Hashcat with it. 

This is one example line from my file (I have masked some characters with XXX):
user1:xBeYH.XXXQUgk:3124:345:User1name:a12345/user1

I'm trying to test the speed of Hashcat with this command:
hashcat.exe -m 1500 -a 3 -1 ?l?d ?1?1?1?1?1 passwords.txt

And I get this information:
----------------------------------------------------
Hash '?1?1?1?1?1': Token length exception

* Token length exception: 1/1 hashes
  This error happens if the wrong hash type is specified, if the hashes are
  malformed, or if input is otherwise not as expected (for example, if the
  --username option is used but no username is present)

No hashes loaded.
----------------------------------------------------

What did I do wrong? How to get the Hashcat to start cracking the password? Is the hash mode correct?
(Please help, because I'm very new to the Hachcat)
