hashcat Forum

Hey, hope all is well.

I am working on cracking some NTLM hashes. I am pretty sure I have the format correct and have matching plaintext for a small sample, but was having no luck. So, tried a couple different versions, .44,.45,.46 32bit on The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) and 64 bit on unbuntu 13, and even when using the NTLM sample files, no luck:

root@The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali):~# hashcat -m=1000 /root/hashcat-0.46/examples/A0.M1000.hash /root/hashcat-0.46/examples/A0.M1000.word

But, this seems to work:

Anythoghts?

So, just to put this up there in case anyone else runs into this - the switch should be -m 1000 NOT -m=1000 that fixed my problem.

thx
