hashcat Forum

I created an MD5 hash

"hello" (without quotations)

I'm not posting the hash, because of the forum rules.

I was able to crack it though with a dictionary attack, by putting the word 'hello' within the dictionary. I wanted to test if my setup of hashcat would work.

cudaHashcat32.exe -m 0 -a 0 -o cracked.txt hashes.txt Wordlists\wordlist1.txt

Now, I wanted to run the same situation but by bruteforcing using masks.

cudaHashcat32.exe -m 0 -a 3 -o cracked.txt hashes.txt ?l?l?l?l?l

Output:

Session Name: cudaHashcat
Status: Cracked
Input Mode : Mask <?l?l?l?l?l>
...
...
...
Recovered: 1/1


My problem is, where is the password that was recovered?

You already cracked it with a dictionary attack, so it will not be cracked again with any other attack in the same session.
