Stats Processor Spitting Out Junk
#1
Hello,

I have an issue. I am using the latest hashcat utils and stats processor. I have an AMD Radeon 5650 with the latest APP SDK. Installing this fixed my initial problem where nothing appeared on the status screen. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. The issue I am having now is with the stats processor. I used the example Atom showed for statsgen.exe and stats processor using the the rockyou.txt. My stats file size comes out correct and I am using windows.

The Example: http://hashcat.net/forum/thread-1265.html

When I enter the following command...
\statsprocessor.exe --pw-min 5 --pw-max --threshold 400000 rockyou.hcstat | C:\HashcatGUI_042\hashcat-utils-1.0\head -20....This is what I get.

Here is my output with the the same example but with this parameter added after the .hcstat file... ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l. (Still not words but Junk)

No matter what I do the stats processor seems to output complete randomness with no words that make sense (I thought that was a part of the whole use of stats processor) and the threshold seems to have absolutely not impact and if I just let it go through all the iterations it seems to be doing a complete brute force with my specified --pw-min/max. I seem to be unable to make use of markov chain depth. When I use these parameters -1 ?l?d ?1?1?1?1?1...I do only get letters and digits but I still can't apply a threshold limit and I get complete junk even with my rockyou.hcstat file and the iterations proceed like bruteforce...forever and ever. Has anyone had this problem before? I am thoroughly confused and wondering if there is something wrong with my .hcstat files or if the stats processor is not working right on my system for some reason. There is nothing significantly usable for any intelligent attack with my stats processor attempts. It's now working it seems to be bruteforcing.

Here is another example on the website my results were the same here but I still don't understand why I have received the results above. Am I missing something?

The example given by: http://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=statsprocessor
My command and results:

\HashcatGUI_042\hashcat-utils-1.0\statsprocessor-0.083>sp64
.exe --pw-min 5 --pw-max 5 hashcat.hcstat ?l?l?l?l?l | C:\HashcatGUI_042\hashcat-utils-1.0\

Any help would be much appreciated. I am just trying to output something productive Thanks Everyone Smile

Update: I realized that the threshold only has no impact if it is above the number of characters I am using. I saw a major difference when with using --threshold 13 on this character set -1 ?l...the progression was now different I could see the threshold working. Can anyone elaborate. So I understand this better. I have the idea not that the threshold or number of characters added to the markov table has to be in the range of your character set is this correct. I wondering what I can do to produce results that are more realistic instead of random. This didn't work too bad but could I be doing something better. Thanks
