hashcat Forum

I have a sha256 hash with no salt and the password is 65 mixed alpha num. every time I try to start brute force it just stops. I'm guessing that the password is too long. Any solutions?

you're trying to brute force a 65-character password?

Actually, 64

Not supported as this would require two sha256 transform calls

It's a bad, bad idea.

might want to look into other tools like JTR. But even if it worked it's going to take you awhile. Hopefully you are immortal
