hashcat not working at all
#1
Hi,

I'm new to hashcat and I've tried to test a md5 hash using the brute force attack mode.

- I'm running linux 32bit
- I've stored the md5 hash in the file input.txt
- the output file does not exist

I used this on the command line:

Code:
./hashcat-cli32.bin --attack-mode=3 --hash-mode=0 --output-file=output.txt --output-format=0 --threads=8 --custom-charset1=1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ input.txt

But the only output I get is:

Code:
Usage: hashcat [options] hashfile [mask|wordfiles|directories]

Try --help for more help.


can anybody tell me what's wrong?

Thanks

I've managed to test it with oclHashcat-lite like that:

Code:
./oclHashcat-lite32.bin -m0 --custom-charset1 ?l 098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6

that works...

Add a MASK at the end of your command-line!

Because oclHashcat-plus uses a default mask when you don't use any.

+1.
@Basti-Fantasti! Having a title post "hashcat not working at all" and in the text : "I'm new to hashcat"... sorry but you can not say that hashcat is not working...
Do you *really* think that thousands of people in the world uses a version that does not work ?!
