Using small word list & rules - error
#1
I am trying to use a small word list since I know part of the password for a 7zip file, and then using the best64rule, but I get an error and I see it's common, but I don't know how to fix it. 

I don't know if my options are just wrong?
C:\hashcat-3.40>hashcat64.exe -a 0 -m 11600 c:\hashcat-3.40\hash.txt c:\hashcat-3.40\wordlists\listone.txt -r c:\hashcat-3.40\rules\best64.rule --force -o c:\hashcat-3.40\cracked.txt

I did find the best download link for the hashcat 3.40+54.7z build, so that is what I'm using.

The wordlist or mask you are using is too small.
Therefore, hashcat is unable to utilize the full parallelization power of your device(s).
The cracking speed will drop.

It's not an error, and there's not anything you need to do to "fix it."

Thank you, I have tried to find out what I'm doing wrong.

Can anyone please assist? I have read a lot and I know I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not finding out how to enter the commands properly.

I think I know part of the passwords for the 2 files that I have. I don't know what the best solution is to get the passwords back.

Thank you!
