Stuck while Dictionary chache building
#1
Hi, I have been using Hashcat on my pc for some time now. However, for the past two months, I am not able to use the application. Every time I run Hashcat with big wordlists ( around 15 to 13 GB )the application gets stuck in ' Dictionary cache building ..... (particular %) and does not go further. the percentage is constant for each word list suppose I use the 15gb wordlist from Crackstation, it gets stuck with 24.61 % each time. it stops responding after it reaches that percentage and the window cannot be closed. I have to shut down or restart the system. and windows also informs that the drive is corrupt after I restart and asks me to scan. I have tried downloading the wordlists from different links (just to make sure that the problem is not with the list) I have cleared and formatted a drive of 300gb in my pc to make sure that the problem is not with the drive. however, when I try and use a smaller wordlist that has only 1000-5000 words. this issue does not occur.
here are the system details and here is the screenshot of the error.
