I've only started messing around with hashcat yesterday, I have a little xp with JTR trying to crack the files over the years. I installed hashcat on one of my hosted dedicated servers but Im building a box today dedicated for it .
What I mean by that is when I use a huge wordlist it will run seemly forever but with my short list of known combos that comes out around 10k guesses it instantly finishes with no luck. I tried with a regular zip and my wordlist and its the same result so Im prob doing something wrong. I am not really concerned with that as it will take some time to understand the process. I am just wondering if will work at all on these .xef files.
