Full Version: proper format: to use salt file
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I'm trying to crack a sha256(pass.salt) and I don't know the pass or the salt, but I do have two separate files, one that contains the pass and one that contains the salt(not too big). I just can't seem to get it right (getting error)... This is what I'm currently trying:

hashcat -m 1410 [hash.file] [pass.file] -e [salt.file]


Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
oclHashcat does not support external salts (and never did), only hashcat does.
As far as I know, I'm not using oclhashcat. I'm just using hashcat on a The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali)-linux box. Can you tell me what the layout is suppose to look like?
what error are you getting?
its just line by line, each line a salt
okay, yesterday after my last post it started working and stopped again today.

It says Initializing hashcat v0.47...


and then:

/usr/bin/hashcat: line 3; 3155 killed /usr/share/hashcat/hashcat.bin "$@"
okay I think I figured out the cause: size of salt file... but why?
