Hashcat-gui does nothing

[slyths]

Hello guys, i'm tryin to crack an IPB 3 Hash+Salt on windows 7 with hashcat and oclhashcat-plus with bruteforce, but it seems like nothing happens anytime i put in the commands.
I've tried with the gui and also with the command line, but the same thing happens, i mean absolutely "nothing", not even an error message. I bet i'm missing something huge here, and i'd be glad if someone could assist me by pointing out my mistakes.
So... here are the commands i use:

Code:

oclHashcat-plus64.exe --hash-type 2811 --attack-mode 3 --cpu-affinity 2 --gpu-devices 1 D:\OWEN\Hash\black.txt

Code:

hashcat-cli64.exe --hash-mode 1 --attack-mode 3 D:\OWEN\Hash\black.txt

And do i need to compile or install something apart from python, opencl, and net. framework before hashcat can work?

And by the way do i need any special set-up to use mask attack instead of brute-force?

When you write these commands in a shell prompt, what do you have ?
Errors can be:
- something like "hashcat command not found" : means that you are not in the good directory,
- an error with hashcat : paste it here.

If you launch your commands from hashcat-gui, be aware that the executables shall be in the directories, you should extract *all* files.

Yes, you are missing a mask. Read here: https://hashcat.net/wiki/mask_attack

sincerely nothing happens, anyway i've installed backtrack on my hard drive, 'cause when i tried to use it on the backtrack on virtualbox it somehow worked, so now i'll try it on this new installation of backtrack.

So i basically need to know the password length and each character int... that's quite hard, is there anyway to know how long the password is, by having the salt?

you did not read the article very carefully. read this subsection: https://hashcat.net/wiki/mask_attack#pas..._increment

to make it work i just got the backtrack distro and using it from there... anyway talkin about the mask attack, i dont see any option on normal hashcat to use mask attack.

BTW Is there a section in the forum where i could post the hash + salt so some good samaritan could help me crack it?

Actually I have the same problem atm..On linux but instead of doing absolutely nothing it says this:

cudaHashcat-lite v0.9 starting...

GPU-Loops:150
GPU-Accel:1
Password lengths range: 1-15
Platform: NVidia compatible platform found
Watchdog: Temperature limit set to 90c
Device #1: Quadro NVS 135M, 127MB, 800Mhz, 1MCU

but after that it just sits there and doesn't take up any CPU energy or anything O.o

paste your command line and your status screen output.
