hashcat Forum

Hi

I am new on hashcat
I was trying to use hashcat with a usual dictionaries that i found on the net but there is something that i am not able to understand.

I started using wordlist.txt, this file contains 60454 lines

wc wordlist.txt
60454 60453 561982 wordlist.txt

when i start hashcat i see correctly 60456 words

Index.....: 1/1 (segment), 60454 (words), 561982 (bytes)
Recovered.: 0/1 hashes, 0/1 salts
Speed/sec.: 812 plains, 812 words
Progress..: 1892/60454 (3.13%)
Running...: 00:00:00:02
Estimated.: 00:00:01:12

I tried a larger dictionary realhuman_phill.txt that contains 63941069 lines:
wc realhuman_phill.txt
63941069 64278534 716441107 realhuman_phill.txt

but when i started hashcat i see only 3457275 words

Index.....: 1/22 (segment), 3457275 (words), 33550344 (bytes)
Recovered.: 0/1 hashes, 0/1 salts
Speed/sec.: 383 plains, 383 words
Progress..: 7524/3457275 (0.22%)
Running...: 00:00:00:19
Estimated.: 00:02:30:07

Same behavior with another large dictionary.

Thanks & regards, Luca

Hi

I understood, it is related to segment size.
Increasing segment size i am able to load more words

Yep, you've got it right.
