hashcat Forum

When I run hashcat I get the following error:

C:\reskit\oclHashcat-plus-0.09>cudaHashcat-plus32.exe -t 32 -a 7 example0.hash ?a?a?a?a example.dict
ERROR: No NVidia compatible platform found

And I have the following NVIDIA software installed:

I am running on Windows 7 32 bit. Is there anything else I need to do?

No, the driver is OK, and you GPU is OK, too, its listed here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-gpus

Have you tried any other CUDA app?

Thanks for the reply. I worked out the issue. I was trying to access the PC using a remote desktop connection and via RDP hash cat was unable to access the drivers. Once I VNC'd in instead it worked just fine.

Interesting how such useless detail like rdp was forgotten to mention when asking for help. Anyway
