hashcat Forum

I am confident that I'm doing something severely n00bish and incorrect here, but I've tried (nearly) everything.

I created a test account on my box to hopefully crack the shadow file.

I copied the line to a test hash file with this line
testing:$6$3yx0TEli$AbGUWY.IVOIwc8IaKgj3WptKvzmgIdibCG5eGUkATRSQEnO2JzVNm2msngTgz6RSd6hbhdV8HodJxiRxggRGq1:14827:0:99999:7:::

My usage
./hashcat-cli.bin --hash-mode=500 /home/test/Desktop/test /home/test/Desktop/wordlist
yields either
(seperator unmatched)
or
(line length exception)

I thought I'd start off with something easy. I know the password, and the password is stored in the wordlist. Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance,

Try testing again with only with in the hashfile

and

running

hi,


thanks for replying.


i created a file with only the hash-string and a wordlist with only that password. the command yields

Uhm, Sha-512(Unix) not supported.

Thanks.


I've also tried creating a simple MD5 hash from https://www.md5hashgenerator.com

String: thisisatest
MD5: f830f69d23b8224b512a0dc2f5aec974

Yields same results.

works fine for me...

All hashes have been recovered

thank you for the response atom. i tried without any flags and was able to successfully recover the hash. the problem must lie within the switches i'm using. thanks again for all of your help.

also, congrats on your winning the dc contest.
