Look Up Tables

[Flyinghaggis]

Is it still possible to use lookup tables and if so with
what version?

I ask only because I tried this morning and ran into difficulties.
One of the errors being "access denied"

Since this post is within the cpu hashcat section, I assume you are speaking about hashcat-cli (version 0.49 at the time of this post).

Yes, if you look at --help, it says:
5 = Table-Lookup

so you need to use -a 5

For more details about the table lookup attack see https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=tab...kup_attack

The access denied error seems to be completely unrelated to this attack mode, maybe a permission error or you messed something up with the cpu hashcat files themself.

You could try to download hashcat-0.49 again and extract it to a new folder to make sure no important cpu hashcat files was modified/corrupted etc.

I agree that something got messed up (thought it may have been related to hashcat as that was the first programme I tried this morning and that the table lookup function may have been removed) - I think I have resolved the issue now and will give it another try.
