HashCat Separator Unmatched

Question

I am trying to get this hash:

633c097a37b26c0caad3b435b51404e

with the following command:

hashcat -a 0 -m 1800 -o final.txt hash.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt

But it gives me an error saying my separator is unmatched.

I'm new to this so I'm not exactly sure what that means or how I can fix it ...

Answer 1

The hash you are trying with is of type MD5, so you have to specify the correct hash type for the hash mode flag -m, which is 0 for the MD5, so it should be -m 0 instead of -m 1800 which is used for sha512crypt $6$, SHA512 (Unix) 2.

Refer to this link from the official documentation of hashcat which provides examples for all the has types.
