N00b can't get hashcat.exe file with extract error from Keka on MacOS

[alliwant4xmas]

The best/easiest thing for macOS (since we can't really cross-compile the macOS binaries for every macOS version etc), is to just use git and compile it yourself.

i.e. with brew install the most important build/compile tools like make, gcc, sed, git etc

after that, you can just simply compile hashcat on the command line

Code:

git clone https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat
cd hashcat
make
./hashcat --help

Thank you! Have brew, installed hashcat successfully. Weirdly when I clone the repo from https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat (using philsmd's code above), I believe I'm getting an older version of haschat that does not support hash mode 14800. Error code is "Unknown hash-type '14800' selected", which matches when I do hashcat -h and see that 14800 is not on the list of hash types.

Trying to run code

Code:

hashcat -a 0 -m 14800 -o hash.txt passwords4.txt

,

and see error "Unknown hash-type '14800' selected" after "hashcat (v3.30) starting..."

Also ran

Code:

hashcat -b

and at start up message it says "hashcat (v3.30) starting in benchmark mode... " I understand from reading the wiki that benchmark mode tells me about hashcat processing under ideal conditions, but not sure if this is related to not having access to hash type 14800.

I had previously manually downloaded the 5.1.0 binaries + sources that do contain 14800. What am I doing wrong in the git repo clone that's giving me an older version?

Thank you!!! So close. Seriously, so much appreciated if you can.

Never mind! Figured it out. Ran

Code:

brew upgrade hashcat

and now with -I confirmed running version 5.1.0 and hash type 14800 works! Thanks!!!!!
