Unable to crack hashes - "Failed to parse hashes using the native hashcat format"
#1
Seems like a basic question so please forgive me, but I've spent all morning looking at documentation and forum posts but to no avail.

I am doing an audit for any users who might be using one of our stock passwords given to them during onboard and am trying to crack the hashes, but every attempt to do so results in the error
Code:
Failed to parse hashes using the 'native hashcat' format

No hashes loaded.

The command I am using is:
hashcat -a 0 -m 1000 --username 1 .\hashes.txt --show .\stockpwd.txt

The hashes sit on the hashes.txt file, and extracted using the dsinternals powershell module in the format
username:hash
username:hash
etc.

and the dictionary is in the format
pass1
pass2
etc.

I am hoping this is a relatively straightforward fix, as I have done this a year or so ago without issue. I assume I am missing an argument somewhere
