You have failed to specify an attack and have only provided hashcat with the hash mode and hash. If you do not provide hashcat with an attack to run, it will start in Pipe mode. The process appears to be "hung" as it is currently blocked while waiting to read candidates from stdin (e.g. from an external candidate generator), of which none are being supplied. Refer to https://hashcat.net/wiki/#core_attack_modes for a list of available attack modes and examples.
