I'm trying to crack a sha256(pass.salt) and I don't know the pass or the salt, but I do have two separate files, one that contains the pass and one that contains the salt(not too big). I just can't seem to get it right (getting error)... This is what I'm currently trying:
hashcat -m 1410 [hash.file] [pass.file] -e [salt.file]
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

oclHashcat does not support external salts (and never did), only hashcat does.

As far as I know, I'm not using oclhashcat. I'm just using hashcat on a The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali)-linux box. Can you tell me what the layout is suppose to look like?

okay, yesterday after my last post it started working and stopped again today.
It says Initializing hashcat v0.47...
and then:
/usr/bin/hashcat: line 3; 3155 killed /usr/share/hashcat/hashcat.bin "$@"

okay I think I figured out the cause: size of salt file... but why?
