Separator unmatched

[foxhound]

Good morning, below is the issue I have been having and can't seem to figure it out.

I have followed the directions in this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8A8rKFZW-M&t=526s

I searched posts on here for an answer and the only error I found was that I using -m 2500 instead of -m 22000

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hash formats 250x and 1680x are deprecated. Successor is hash mode 22000 which use a new hash format (not longer binary hccapx)

Please read more here:

or this forum search for hash mode 22000:
https://hashcat.net/forum/search.php?act...order=desc

The online converter moved to the new hash format, too:

and forget all ancient youtube video tutorials.
If you have more questions regarding the new hash format, feel free to ask.

Thank you, that info helped me get it running.

I wasn't sure how to tell if it was using the CPU or GPU.  I have an RTX 2070, it took almost an hour to run.  The command output said 'Failed to initialize NVIDIA RTC library.'  Wasn't sure what that meant.

I found the example hashes page; however, I'm not sure how it works.  Is that something I can use to test my system to see if it is set up correctly since my session failed/exhausted without retrieving a password?

I'm glad I could be of help.

The example hashes are useful to test your system, as mentioned here:
https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-10553-p...l#pid54456

Code:

$ hashcat -m 22000 "WPA*01*4d4fe7aac3a2cecab195321ceb99a7d0*fc690c158264*f4747f87f9f4*686173686361742d6573736964***" -a 3 hashcat!

To get benefit of CUDA, it is mandatory to install the CUDA SDK toolkit, which is not the case on your system (warning 1)
Additional you have to disable the Kernel exec timeout, which is also not the case on your system (warning 2).

How to do this depend on your operating system. Regarding the screenshots, it looks like you're running Windows.
I'm on Arch Linux, so I can't answer this question.

Speed.#1 = your GPU running OpenCL
Speed.#2 = your CPU integrated UHD graphics running OpenCL

hashcat -I option will give you a detailed information (in my case NVIDIA CUDA and OpenCL installed):

Code:

$ hashcat -I

BTW:
The success rate of hashcat depends on the attack vector and the quality of the dump file. If you received some ERRORs or WARNINGs during conversion of the dump file, it is a good idea to reconsider your attack vector and/or to re-capture the traffic.
