What am I doing wrong??

[r9290xocl]

I created an MD5 hash for the word data123, placed the word "data" in dic1, and the "123" on dic2.

The hash is accurate, because it gets cracked with the best64 rule file and dic1.

C:\Users\Abe>C:\Users\Abe\Desktop\hashcat-0.49\hashcat-cli64.exe -m 0 C:\Users\Abe\Desktop\hash.txt -a 1 C:\Users\Abe\Desktop\dic1.txt C:\Users\Abe\Desktop\dic2.txt

You are just running a straight dictionary attack. Hashcat cpu does not support combinator attack. Look at the wiki for more details.

[atom]

combinator mode in hashcat cpu and oclHashcat work different.

in hashcat cpu you have to put all words into a single wordlist.

coolbry95: did you notice the "-a 1"

atom: in other words, under hashcat, I have to specify only 1 dic file.

That explains a lot already, but it still does not explain why its not working with oclhashcat..

[r9290xocl]

I Confirm it works for hashcat with -a 1 and a single dic file

I tried 1.33 with ocl, same behavior with 2 dic files. I hope its not my PC acting up

[atom]

Yes, in oclHashcat you need two files. Do not forget the -a 1 switch

Restarted my PC, and everything was working fine, with exact same commands, dic, etc... Very weird.
