Issue with using hashcat with my The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) linux

[matthewdavis]

Hello,
I have a problem using hashcat with my The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) linux...I tried to crack my own shadow file with john and hashcat. It recognize the hash and crack it. It says me that these hashs seem to be sha512crypt...after that I tried to crack the same file with hashcat, and it doesn't recognize the hash salt, so I have isolated the digest in a separated file and run again hashcat with -m 1800, but it says me something like:

Code:

Initializing hashcat v0.44 by atom with 8 threads and 32mb segment-size...

Added hashes from file test2.pwd: 1 (1 salts)
Activating quick-digest mode for single-hash with salt

NOTE: press enter for status-screen

/usr/bin/hashcat: line 3:  5342 Floating point exception  /usr/share/hashcat/hashcat.bin "$@"

I can't understand where I'm wrong. Help me please!

I'm not sure where you got it from but Hashcat v0.44 is probably over 10 years old at this point. Download the new binaries from the top of hashcat.net and try again
