Problem with bruteforcing with GPU

[yassine_hell]

hello,

first of all, i would like to thank you for this great program,

it works fine with the CPU

but when i tried to use GPU
i get this

Code:

cudaHashcat-plus v0.07 by atom starting...

i got Nvidia GT555M
i tried the "execute with graphic processor" option
and same thing happed.

whats the problem??

thx

You only gave hashcat " ?l " as the mask, meaning a single lower-case letter of the alphabet.

If you want to brute-force a password of more characters, you need to add the respective amount of them to the mask.

So for a password with up to 8 characters (out of which all are lowercase, no digits nor special symbols), ou would use this ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l as your mask.

?l is any lowercase letter, ?u is any uppercase letter, ?s are special chars and ?d is any digit. I strongly suggest reading through the hashcat pdf documentation, it has an extensive section on masks and how they work.

Briefly, you can create your own mask by using -<number> <charset/custom chars>

For example -2 ?u?l will create a mask character " ?2 " which will stand in for any upper or lowercase letter.

Please revise your mask and try bruteforcing again.
