whether you have a base64 tool installed / available on the command line depends on your operating system, on macOS and linux we have a "base64" tool to decode base64 text.
for instance, on stackoverflow they suggest to use "certutil" as a workaround to base64 decode a text on windows (cmd), I didn't test it myself because I use linux:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1694...1#16946681
(note: so I suggest using the certuil command with windows cmd instead of the base64 command that can be used in linux or macOS)
I don't understand your other problem with "Line-length exception". This is again a different error message that shouldn't occur with too short ciphertext. What is your command line ? are you sure you use -m 15700 in your command ?
The hash file also only contains the hash no quotes (neither " , nor ' ) within the hash file. Please test to use a hash file with the example hash from https://hashcat.net/wiki/example_hashes . If I change the ciphertext length with the example to a shorter ciphertext I definitely only get a "Token length exception" (nothing else, neither salt-length, nor line-length) with the unpatched version. With the patched version instead everything is working
