Can you run hashcat backwards?

Can you use hashcat to generate hashes from a wordlist?

[Xanadrel]

No.

[cityscab]

I kind of figured.  Was a shot in the dark.

don't suppose you could help me with my other question?

For what it is worth, you can use mdxfind for that.

For example, to generate MD5's from a list call "words.txt":

echo | mdxfind -z words.txt >words.md5

The -z causes it to "match" all of the hashes; the echo | gives it a null hash list. You can do the same with -f /dev/null

You can also generate more than one type of hash at the same time:

echo | mdxfind -z -h ^md5$,^sha1$,^sha256$,^sha512$ words.txt >words.many

will generate md5, sha1, sha256 and sha512 hashes for every word.

You can also use hashcats tools/test.pl in passthrough mode to generate them
