Trying to brute force a basic hash of a plaintext password and a hash... But having difficulty with the hashcat commands.
I'm unsure how to specify what my salt is. I've selected that the -m command is (10) and -a 3 for brute force, but whenever I try to load my hash + salt I get "Line-length exception"
My command is: hashcat64.exe -m 10 hash.txt -a 3
Answer
You "specify" the salt by having the correct format for the hashing algorithm.
For -m 10, or md5($pass.$salt), see this example is directly from the hashcat website:
01dfae6e5d4d90d9892622325959afbe:7050461
Note the colon after the password hash, which separates it from the salt. If your file already looks like this, maybe try adding a new line to the end?
