Dictiionary Attack - how-to-question
#19
It's not totally clear. maybe this is only a problem on macOS ? do you use the latest version of macOS ?

It could easily be that the macOS driver is buggy. You could do further test and see if other hash types work for you etc

maybe something like
Code:
hashcat -b

Probably the easiest solution (but it's actually just a workaround, not an ideal fix) is to try to use other devices to crack the hashes. macOS devices are known to have some driver problems, especially if it comes to OpenCL runtimes... and furthermore there is the problem with cooling these devices (notebooks and desktop, all-in-one devices). Most of these devices do not have a good airflow and don't have great fans that blow the hot air out of the system... most desktop computers (with windows / linux, i.e. non-apple devices) have better ways to cool the GPUs/CPUs when it comes to heavy cracking jobs with hashcat (+ the advantage that the driver vendors, like NVIDIA, do focus on windows + ubuntu systems and therefore there might be, but not guaranteed of course, less problems when it comes to OpenCL/CUDA kernel compilation etc)
