HashCat bcrypt $2*$, Blowfish (Unix) Line-length exception

Hello I attempting to use HashCat example hash to decrypt the example on their page using bcrypt $2*$, Blowfish (Unix)

Using the hash of there example:

$2a$05$LhayLxezLhK1LhWvKxCyLOj0j1u.Kj0jZ0pEmm134uzrQlFvQJLF6

I am using this command on MAC

./hashcat -m 3200 $2a$05$LhayLxezLhK1LhWvKxCyLOj0j1u.Kj0jZ0pEmm134uzrQlFvQJLF6

It gives me 

Hash 'a-bash5.Kj0jZ0pEmm134uzrQlFvQJLF6': Line-length exception
No hashes loaded.

Thank you for your time!

Solution

  • Try putting the hash inside a text file instead of pasting it into the command line. The whole file would just be $2a$05$LhayLxezLhK1LhWvKxCyLOj0j1u.Kj0jZ0pEmm134uzrQlFvQJLF6, and then you can just pass that to hashcat, i.e. hashcat -m 3200 hash.txt.

    If it keeps complaining about Line-length exception, make sure there are no spaces or newlines in the file.
