Hi,
I am new to using hashcat however I observed that it does not do what I ask with command. The output also mentioned that I have less hashes in the file. For example, I run a brute force attack on 50000 NTLM hashes, the output says that it recovered 7% which is about 2000 /48000digest. The file has more than 48000 and when I copy and paste the recovered hashes in a excel sheet it was more than 2000. So, my question is, why do you think that happened?
I also tried to remove duplicate with this command "sort -u hashfile > unique.txt and the new file has the original number of hash<50000>.
My command was for 8characters but it recovered password with more and less than 8.
Here is my command "hashcat -m 1000 -a 3 hashfile.txt ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a -O.
Thank you.
