hashcat Forum

I want to use -s, --skip and -l, --limit to implement distributed cracking

The problem I'm currently facing is that I can't get the total amount of Restore. Point...: 81450625/81450625 (100.00%) when I start running the instructions.

use the --keyspace argument

This is the command and return that I run.

root@gpu2-MS-7B53:~# hashcat -V
v5.1.0-1183-g32cb1918+
root@gpu2-MS-7B53:~# hashcat -m 0 -a 3 eb009cefa9759b10d7bbd5cc969d95e5 ?a?a?a?a?a --keyspace
Usage: hashcat [options]... hash|hashfile|hccapxfile [dictionary|mask|directory]...

Try --help for more help.

you need to omit the hash when using --keyspace

btw, if you're trying to set up distributed cracking you might be interested in https://github.com/s3inlc/hashtopolis
