cant search for a password longer or shorter than 5 characters
#1
Hi all, I've been running into this issue for about a week now and it has me stumped. I'm trying to crack a password to an old excel file but hashcat wont let me search for a password thats not exactly 5 characters in length. Below is the errors it shows. It seems to have something to do with OpenCL.

You're using the collider mode which is limited to 5 bytes to attack the short RC4 key. Use 9700 for regular cracking, not 9710.
