Wel, didn't thaught 896MB won't be enough, but actually they are.
There is one other question I have:
I read something about the sha hashes, stored in linux's shadow file. I use the same pw on all my systems. Whereas I cracked my win-pw in some seconds I had no luck with my linux system (but its the same pw).
As I understand, the sha512 hash on linux is salted and converted in a non hex string. Can I just convert this salted non hex string to a hex-string (with cain's hexconverter) and use hashcat on this string, or isn't this working.
Maybe you can tell me a tutorial on how to convert linux hash strings
Thanks
PS: I was quiet fascinated on how hashcat cracked th win-pw within seconds wheras cain's cpu based brute-force ist still working. I compared the speed's and found out that gpu based cracking is up to 150 times faster on my system.
