No hashes loaded error.... help me pls

[lsaller]

I'm trying to crack a wpa2 wifi password, and when i want to use hashcut i have a problem.....
im using virtual box with The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) linux.
*console*

hashcat -m 2500 -a 0 /root/Desktop/capture.hcccapx /root/hashcat/rockyou.txt --force

hashcat (v5.1.0) starting...

 No hashes load....
and quits.... Please someone help me, i dont know what to do

even if it might not be the only (or main) reason let's just remember what the warning about --force says:

Code:

You can use --force to override this, but do not report related errors.

Do NOT report errors when using --force... and yes I know you "need" to use it with a broken system/setup, but fix the system first (e.g. by using for instance ubuntu on the main host system without vm).

First thing I'd check is your hcccapx is formatted correctly vs the example hashes.

The hccapx is a binary file, not so easy to check manually. Try to crack the example from here:

https://hashcat.net/misc/example_hashes/hashcat.hccapx

Password is hashcat! (with the !)
