Hashcat combining two wordlists - 0 progress

[zozeri]

Hi,

I am attempting to use hashcat with two wordlists, the command is as follows;

Code:

hashcat -m 2500 -a 1 handshake.hccap firstList.txt secondList.txt

firstList contains words of length 10, secondlist contains words of length 4.

I am trying to get it to use every combination of the words but my result is as follows;

Code:

Input.Mode: Dict (firstList.txt)
Index.....: 1/3 (segment), 2795862 (words), 33550344 (bytes)
Recovered.: 0/1 hashes, 0/1 salts
Speed/sec.: 1.39k plains, - words
Progress..: 0/2795862 (0.00%)
Running...: 00:00:01:07
Estimated.: --:--:--:--

It doesn't look like its combining the lists, and there is no progress... I will leave it running for the next 15 minutes or so.

If I bypass this it will run on the second list;

Code:

Input.Mode: Dict (secondList.txt)
Index.....: 1/1 (segment), 454 (words), 2723 (bytes)
Recovered.: 0/1 hashes, 0/1 salts
Speed/sec.: 1.25k plains, - words
Progress..: 63/454 (13.88%)
Running...: 00:00:00:24
Estimated.: --:--:--:--

So it seems to be working on the second list only but not as expected.

How can I optimise the command to get it to work as expected?

Thank you.

I have come across this guide: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=combinator_attack
so I am using the wrong version of hashcat.

What command can I use to combine the two wordlists into one so that I can attempt this in hashcat?

Thanks

Use combinator.bin, pipe its output in a fifo, use the fifo as the wordlist in hashcat with attack mode 0.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I have managed with combinator.bin to generate a wordlist but rather than output the file I want to pipe it to hashcat as the wordlist - I am not sure what fifo is but I take it its some sort of 'first in first out' list structure. Can you elaborate or give me an idea of how to do this?

****EDIT****
This is what I am currently trying

Code:

hashcat -m 2500 -a 0 FileToCrack.hccap | ./combinator.bin firstList.txt secondList.txt

The result is as if I am just running the combinator by itself - printing to terminal the wordlist.

I have also tried reversing the commands

Code:

./combinator.bin firstList.txt secondList.txt | hashcat -m 2500 -a 0 FileToCrack.hccap

Hashcat now runs but only goes through the first wordlist.

Use mkfifo, pipe the output of combinator.bin in the fifo, hashcat doesn't support stdin so piping won't work.

Something like that :

Code:

mkfifo blah
./combinator.bin firstList.txt secondList.txt > blah
./hashcat hashlist blah

Ok I have tried but it just seems to be doing the same as just using combinator to output a file. I have added piping between the combinator and hashcat as follows;

Code:

mkfifo blah.txt
./combinator.bin firstList.txt secondList.txt > blah.txt |
hashcat -m 2500 -a 0 handshake.hccap blah.txt

The result of the above is this;

Code:

mkfifo: cannot create fifo ‘blah.txt’: File exists
mkfifo: cannot create fifo ‘./combinator.bin’Initializing hashcat v2.00 with 2 threads and 32mb segment-size...

: File exists
mkfifo: cannot create fifo ‘firstList.txt’: File exists
mkfifo: cannot create fifo ‘secondList.txt’: File exists
Added hashes from file handshake.hccap: 1 (1 salts)

I have tried with and without piping in every combination possible
not sure what to do here.

Do you even know how to use your own system ?
You are passing 4 names to mkfifo with your command, you're not calling combinator.bin at all and you're trying to pipe into hashcat which is not possible.

I didn't put the commands on individual lines to make it pretty, you either run combinator.bin & hashcat in individual terminals, or you run it detached.

Code:

$ head left right
==> left <==
left1
left2
left3

==> right <==
right1
right2
right3

So for example :

Code:

$ mkfifo blah && ./combinator.bin left right > blah &

$ cat blah
left1right1
left1right2
left1right3
left2right1
left2right2
left2right3
left3right1
left3right2
left3right3
[2]-  Done                    mkfifo blah && ./combinator.bin left right > blah

Thanks, I managed with this.
