hashcat / oclhashcat segfaults

[Cathy]

I'm running The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) (4.5.0-kali1-amd64) on Virtualbox.
It has a preinstalled hashcat Ver 2.00 which is WORKING but seems to miss some hash versions like 7700.
I wanted to install a newer version of hashcat.
I installed the 7z version of hashcat from git which is of version v3.00-1-g67a8d97 and also oclhashcat by apt-get install oclhashcat. This is ver 2.10 (2.01+git20160114-0kali2)

Both versions allow hashcat --help
but BOTH segfault when using hashcat -b

kernlog:

Jul 27 14:16:11 The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) kernel: [ 1335.390501] hashcat3[2007]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f20b381b90a sp 00007ffdacf696f8 error 4 in libc-2.22.so[7f20b36f3000+19b000]

How can I upgrade to a higher/stable version of libc?

Hi, you are probably right but I also tried installing hashcat on Ubuntu with the same result.
So it is not entirely related to The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) only.
What I have seen in forums is that many others seem to have these issues.
It could be related to libc-2.22.so or to anything driver and GPU related.

Can you help me doing better diagnostic?


I will provide you with more data that might help solving the issue.

Bye Cathy
