SHA1 - Unable to use MD5 as a password

[zeroprobe]

see here:

Code:

root@ht:~/hashcat# echo -n test | md5sum                                                              
098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6  -
root@ht:~/hashcat# echo -n 098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6 | sha1sum
4028a0e356acc947fcd2bfbf00cef11e128d484a  -
root@ht:~/hashcat# ./hashcat -m 4700 4028a0e356acc947fcd2bfbf00cef11e128d484a -a 3 test --quiet
4028a0e356acc947fcd2bfbf00cef11e128d484a:test
root@ht:~/hashcat#

I understand now, hashcat will do the real time conversion of the passwords to MD5 to use against the SHA1.

I was using password lists of MD5s.
