Unable to use own hash database

[fhgu457]

Can't diagnose this without understanding more about how you are creating hashes.txt.

What happens if hashes.txt contains only the MD5 example hash from the hashcat wiki (8743b52063cd84097a65d1633f5c74f5) ?

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

When the hashes.txt file contains only 8743b52063cd84097a65d1633f5c74f5, and I run the command

/hashcat -m 0 hashes.txt phpbb.txt -o plain_wordlist_results.txt

The result is:

hashcat (v4.0.1-74-ga680f194) starting...

OpenCL Platform #1: Apple
=========================
* Device #1: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4980HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, skipped.

* Device #3: GeForce GT 750M, 512/2048 MB allocatable, 2MCU

Hash 'hashes.txt': Line-length exception
No hashes loaded.


Note i create the hashes.txt by literally opening a text editor and copying and pasting 8743b52063cd84097a65d1633f5c74f5 and then saving it as a .txt file.
