Noob question. Cracking single unsalted md5
#1
I'm getting started with hashcat, trying to crack a simple md5 hash.
I've read a few tutorials, but most of them use lists. I want to generate a hash (11, in this example), then crack it specifically, so I get a better feel of what hashcat is doing.


Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?

Code:
bernardo@bernardo-UX51VZA:~/hashcat-3.00$ echo "11" | md5sum 166d77ac1b46a1ec38aa35ab7e628ab5  - bernardo@bernardo-UX51VZA:~/hashcat-3.00$ ./hashcat64.bin "166d77ac1b46a1ec38aa35ab7e628ab5" -a 3 ?d?d hashcat (v3.00-1-g67a8d97) starting...
