Does not work with newer versions of hashcat

[oldmanul]

From version 3.20 hashcat has strong requirements for the order and composition parameters. Agents don't work properly.
Version 3.30 adds new exit codes, perhaps it is important to.

[curlyboi]

could you be more specific what doesn't work?

Run by hand:

D:\hashtopus-agent-master\bin\Release>d:\hashtopus-agent-master\bin\Release\hashcat\hashcat32.exe --session=hashtopus --keyspace --quiet --hash-type=500 -a 3 -1 ?l?d "..\hashlist\1" ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
Usage: d:\hashtopus-agent-master\bin\Release\hashcat\hashcat32.exe [options]... hash|hashfile|hccapfile [dictionary|mask|directory].

Try --help for more help.

Remove hash list filename from arguments (not needed on calculating keyspace or speed)

D:\hashtopus-agent-master\bin\Release>d:\hashtopus-agent-master\bin\Release\hashcat\hashcat32.exe --session=hashtopus --keyspace --quiet --hash-type=500 -a 3 -1 ?l?d ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

D:\hashtopus-agent-master\bin\Release>d:\hashtopus-agent-master\bin\Release\hashcat\hashcat32.exe --version
v3.20

And it seems, are not checked hashcat exit codes in the calculation speed and keyspace.

hmm, looks like it. but the syntax doesn't seem wrong compared to what the help prints... is it possible that some of the parameters were removed from hashcat? like --quiet or --keyspace or something?

[oldmanul]

Watched the parsing parameters in the new versions of hashcat. All parameters are the same, but stricter rules in the parsing. The first should be only options with a "-" or "--". Further parameters depend on the mode:

• --benchmark - any option without the dash or double dash is parsing error;
• --keyspace - next and the only parameter after "-" and "--" should be [dictionary|mask|directory]. If that was the hash|hashfile|hccapfile - parameters parsing error;
• not "--keyspace" & not "--benchmark" - order as displayed in the help

[curlyboi]

i dont understand. you need to specify attack type and hash type with --keyspace as well....

about the - or --, does that mean i can only use ALL - or ALL -- but not mix them together?

[oldmanul]

Ok, for simpler.
If need "--keyspace" - then no hash|hashfile|hccapfile option and [dictionary|mask|directory] must be last in command line.
If need "--benchmark" - no hash|hashfile|hccapfile and no [dictionary|mask|directory] options in command line.
Options with - or -- can be mixed, hashcat used "getopt" functions from standart C library for parsing that options.
P.S. Sorry for my English, i using google translator for translating

[curlyboi]

OOOOOOHHH! Now I understand. I thought you needed hash/hashfile/mask for --keyspace but I guess you really don't. I will fix this.

[winxp5421]

Watch out there is a slight issue with hashcat when dealing with WPA (--hash-type=2500) and --keyspace it requires a hccap file which we assume is a bug. As well as --keyspace reporting differently for the exact same task depending on --hash-type specified

Edit: --keyspace is reporting correctly for each hash-type specified just confirmed with atom, the WPA issues is a bug and will be fixed soon.

[curlyboi]

thanks for the heads-up. so i will just wait for the fix and then drop the #HL# completely for --keyspace

Any news on this?
About the hccap file, the newer versions of hashcat started using a improved (slightly modified) hccap file, the hccapx (version 4.0 on the moment I'm writing this): https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=hccapx
thanks.

oh man, i havent cracked a hash in a long time, i guess i will fix this when i need it again...
