Firstly, you probably should use hashtopussy (https://github.com/s3inlc/hashtopussy/releases) and not hashtopus (which doesn't even seem to be compatible with hashcat 3.40).
Secondly, this is the hashcat forum and neither the hashtopus nor the hashtopussy forum/issue tracker.
You should follow the steps that this 3th party tool recommends: https://github.com/s3inlc/hashtopussy/wiki
For all further question and issues about hashtopus and hashtopussy you should ask the authors of the tools e.g. here: https://github.com/s3inlc/hashtopussy/issues (but of course you should first do your part, i.e. reading... reading... reading, and learning!)
