Hi,

i try to bruteforce a simple hash (pw: test) and im use this command line:
./hashcat-cli32.bin -m 0 -a 3 --pw-min=4 --pw-max=4 hash.txt ?l
But i only get this output:
Initializing hashcat v0.42 by atom with 8 threads and 32mb segment size...

Added hashes from file hash.txt: 1 (1 salts)
Activating quick-digest mode for single-hash

Why hashcat wont crack the hash?
Ive also tried ./hashcat-cli32.bin -m 0 -a 3 hash.txt ?l?l?l?l but the result is the same
There's something fundamental wrong.

Try creating the hash with a known program, make it simple:

md5 -s "a"

for example.

If you can't crack that, then your distribution may be corrupt, or something equally strange. The program works just fine in brute force mode for me.
DaaQ, post the hash your testing...

that's not the correct md5 hash of the word "test"

it should be this:
098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6
Yep, same result here. Why echo test | md5sum isnt the correct hash? oO
use this command instead of echo: md5 -s "test"

works for me

./hashcat-cli64.app -a 3 md5.txt ?l?l?l?l

All hashes have been recovered

because you did "echo test" instead of "echo -n test", which means you hashed "test\n" instead of "test"
