Dictionary character limit?
#1
Heart 
Hey all,
Was just wondering if hashcat has an input/dictionary character limit?  

My dictionary only contains one line - a string that is 536 chars long, and I am trying to run the hybrid+mask attack (a6).  I've tried everything I can think of, but when I run it I get this result:

> hashcat64 -m 100 -a 6 hashtarget string ?a?a?a?a

results in:

Dictionary cache built:
* Filename..: string
* Passwords.: 1
* Bytes.....: 537
* Keyspace..: 0
* Runtime...: 0 secs

The wordlist or mask that you are using is too small.
This means that hashcat cannot use the full parallel power of your device(s).
Unless you supply more work, your cracking speed will drop.
For tips on supplying more work, see: https://hashcat.net/faq/morework

Approaching final keyspace - workload adjusted.

Session..........: hashcat
Status...........: Exhausted
Hash.Type........: SHA1
Hash.Target......: d490335ecf40a4d2602d0910f40371f5d56e472b
Time.Started.....: Sat Oct 28 17:19:16 2017 (0 secs)
Time.Estimated...: Sat Oct 28 17:19:16 2017 (0 secs)
Guess.Base.......: File (string), Left Side
Guess.Mod........: Mask (?a?a?a?a) [4], Right Side
Guess.Queue.Base.: 1/1 (100.00%)
Guess.Queue.Mod..: 1/1 (100.00%)
Speed.Dev.#2.....:        0 H/s (0.00ms)
Recovered........: 0/1 (0.00%) Digests, 0/1 (0.00%) Salts

Restore.Point....: 0
Candidates.#2....: [Copying]
HWMon.Dev.#2.....: Temp: 62c Fan: 24% Util: 54% Core:1265MHz Mem:3505MHz Bus:16

--- So it says it's loading (string) on the left side, and doing a mask on the right side, but nothing happens...

Appreciate any help or guidance you can give! Big Grin
-Cheers.
