hashcat Forum

I'm most certainly a novice to command lines and lesser to hashcat but I'm trying to learn! I've been doing my due diligence reading and practicing tutorials but have come to a standstill with the execution of hashcat on OSX 10.11.5. 

I'm just trying to carck with my own admin password (pure curiosity). When I downloaded hashcat and looked at the files, I don't see a hashcat-cli64.app -- or any ".app" file in the download. I understand you can ".bin" with OSX but I receive a  -bash "cannot execute binary file" in Terminal.


Am I just a noob idiot or is there a file missing in the latest version? Or is it in my hash.txt format that's causing the issue. Sorry if this has already been answered or so redundant it doesn't deserve an answer but looking for a starting point. Any direction is appreciated!

No, there is not really a file missing. Mac OSX users currently need to build the binary themself for reasons explained in https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/issues/403 , https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/issues/430 , https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/issues/444 etc

Thank you! I figured OSX had to have a workaround and have spent a ton of time trying to figure it out on my own.. More work (and learning) to be done but do appreciate where to go to next.

Not that my opinion matters much but I have to say this stuff is pretty awesome and what you all are doing is even cooler.. just scratching the surface to say the least

What Apple hardware are you running it on?
