Different versions of Hashcat being installed into different Linux OS environments

[sashimipal]

On my Ubuntu 18.04.5 the Hashcat is 4.0.1 even after doing the sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt dist-upgrade



On my Kubunutu 21.04 the Hashcat is 6.1.1 



6.1.1 can deal with the hash file correctly



but the 4.0.1 gives me the exception

Code:

Hashfile 'hosh.txt' on line 1 ($bitcoin$64$7113aaf2d24d6221ec8f79d4167f6ddcb22c101e727972d6ae5a8fdca0820979$16$fd9db04f4564cd7e$116684$2$00$2$00): Line-length exception

Parsing Hashes: 0/1 (0.00%)...No hashes loaded.

the latest Kubuntu is incompatible with the AMD GPUs because it requires "RadeonOpenCompute (ROCm)" Software Platform (3.1 or later)



Therefore, I cannot run the latest Kubuntu 21 and take avantage of the AMD GPU at the same time.  



If I want to install the RadeonOpenCompute I should go with the Ubuntu 18.04.5

These are problems of the given distributions / maintaining packages and not anyhow related to hashcat itself

if you are familiar with git, you can clone the newest hahscat repo and build hashcat for yourself, see readme

with that given, you should be able to update hahscat on your ubuntu maschine
