Failed to parse hashes using the 'shadow'
#1
Hi everyone 

I'm new to hashcat,
After I installed hashcat version 5.0.1 on ubuntu 20.04, I tried to crack a rar file with the command:
$ hashcat -m 13000 -a 3 ~/hashcat/testfile.zip
I get the error:
Failed to parse hashes using the 'shadow' format .
Can someone help me fix this error?

I have attach pictures below

Thanks so much !

first update hashcat, recent version is 6.2.4
second rar or zip?
third, read the wiki and or some basic tutorials
fourth, you need to extract the hash from the zip/rar beforehand (google zip2john)
fifth see basic examples for each hash, compare output of zip2john with example for mode 13000 mentioned here

take a look inside your hash file, rar2john puts not needed data at the end (it hink something like the filename etc.) delete this, this is why you get the error token length exception 

see example hash for rar, this is what hashcat expects 
rar5$16$74575567518807622265582327032280$15$f8b4064de34ac02ecabfe9abdf93ed6a$8$9843834ed0f7c754

regarding your command line, delete the ' at the beginning and end of your mask, also you dont need to feed the rar, just the file containing the hash
