hashcat Forum

Seems lite returns 1 as an exit code when it finds a hash, and 0 when it fails to.... This is the opposite of how plus behaves. I would think Lite has it backwards, no?

0

There is a docs/status_codes.txt that lists the return codes for -lite and -plus

However it's inconsistent because 0 actually indicates a "successful" run (posix standard).

Its required for some self-test scripts.
