So,
I did check the .potfile and it only has one cracked hash that was from a test I did right after I started working on hashcat. Also I didn't realize that a dictionary attack would require an exact word match, so it makes sense now that it didn't/probably won't ever work.
I then tried this mask attack:
hashcat64 -a 3 -m 7100 -o D:\HashcatCL\cracked.txt D:\HashcatCL\hashes\<hashfile>.txt ?1?1?1?1?1?1 -1 ?u?l?d
and when it ran and I checked the status it said estimated time (1 year, 321 days) for only 6 keyspaces. Yikes! So I quit the hashcat session.
I'm running a Radeon RX 460 4GB (I assume this is probably an embarrassing GPU)
The last line of the status check says:
Hardware.Mon.#1: Util: 69% Core: 1212MHz Mem:1750MHz Bus:8
Any ideas on what else I should do or try? I believe the target device password is probably more than 6 keyspaces anyway, which would probably make an exponentially longer hashcat estimated runtime. Am I not using my computer resources properly? Should I try a different attack?
Thx for the thoughts.
