Autotune never completes
#1
Hi all,

It seems like autotune runs forever on my laptop, never completing. I am running this:

Code:
hashcat -m 22000 -a 3 hashes ./weak.dic

I made weak.dic with hcxpsktool, adding weak netgear candidates, and it's 3.7G in size.

Here's an example output:

Code:
The wordlist or mask that you are using is too small.
This means that hashcat cannot use the full parallel power of your device(s).
Unless you supply more work, your cracking speed will drop.
For tips on supplying more work, see: https://hashcat.net/faq/morework

Approaching final keyspace - workload adjusted.

Any ideas how to speed it up? Thanks!

Your command is incorrect. You should be using -a 0, not -a 3. This may not fix the issue fully but I suspect it is playing a major part.

OMG I'm such an idiot, thanks!
