how to crack a windows 10 local user password hash(Netnlm capture)

[rustywarships]

Hi 

How do I crack a windows 10 local user password hash(Netnlm capture) I have been trying for ages and have read the wiki, I can not work it out. 

I am using the latest stable version of hashcat on a windows 10 OS using the command prompt.
The hash is in the same folder as hashcat64 and is in a text document called hash.txt

I was told to use this command:

"hashcat64.exe -m 5600 hash.txt -a 3 -1 ?l?u?d -i 5:15 ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1"

but this did not work, after 10 seconds it was "exhausted"

If you would like any more details please ask me.

thank you

-i does not accept any arguments, check --help for the correct usage

What do you mean buy arguments? and where can I find --help.


Thank you so much for your help.

Ok, so what do I change the -i to? or do I just remove it outright.


Thank you for your help.

Replace

Code:

-i 5:15

by the correct syntax

[spoil]-i --increment-min 5 ---increment-max 15[/spoil]

You can remove --i if you do not need to increment.

I will try

Thanks

I tried removing the increment and it took about an hour to get up to 100% and then it restarted back to 0% it is in that loop should I let do its thing?

"it is in that loop should I let do its thing?"

Yeah you should also see that it took 1 hour to do 5 positions, and it wil take several days to do the next 100%
