Hi.
I have problem on Hybrid attack mode (-a 6). When i try to crack an md5crypt hash with -a 6, Hashcat can't crack the password using only GPU. But if i force to use only CPU (-D 1) with the same attack mode, it cracks the password without any problem.
The command i use:
hashcat hash.txt -m 500 -a 6 word.txt ?d?d
hash.txt content:
root:$1$XX$.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXg1KQ0:0:0:root:/root/:/bin/psh
word.txt content:
testpsw
XXXXXXXXXXpav
The correct password is XXXXXXXXXXpav33, but hashcat can't crack it using only GPU. I also tried replacing the lines. It tries the correct password, but can't crack it:
If i force to use only CPU, it cracks without any problem:
Another interesting thing is, when i add any character to the testpsw (for example testtpsw), it cracks the password on GPU too. So when there is another line in the word.txt file which is 7 characters long, it fails to crack. When its length lower than 7 or higher than 7, it cracks the password on GPU too.
Hashcat version info
I tried the same attack mode with the same files (which fails to crack on Hashcat) on John the Ripper using only GPU (format=md5crypt-opencl), it cracks without any problem.
