Is it possible to run Hashcat on XP
#1
Hi. Is anyone able to run Hashcat on windows XP? I have a computer that I would like to use Hashcat with but it runs on Windows XP pro SP3. I know the obvious solution would be to upgrade the OS but it's not an option for now. I noticed that since v0.41, hashcat generates a Windows error: "hashcat-cli32.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.". I was using 0.40 before but with the timebomb it's not possible anymore.

It should be, there were no compiler changes. Let me load up a VM and see if I can reproduce.

Yeah there have been no changes. Any results @ VM?
#4
VM crashes as well. Immediately after start.

Found the problem and solved it. The question is now, is it worth a new release? Maybe silent one?
#6
you could just upload a new extra packaging for XP.

Hate to be a pain but was the fix ever released? I am getting the same error on my system - immediate death upon start.

Currently you will have to wait until the next release.
