As you used windows to run hash cat and you had a wordlist as txt. What if our wordlist is huge and can’t be stored on disk. As you told us how to pipe wordlist to aircrack in linux but how we can pipe in windows?

Hi Talwinder,

Please try to use the same hashcat command on Windows while using the pipe symbol to pipe the output of crunch to the standard input of Hashcat without wasting storage space on the hard drive. For example:

crunch 7 11 --stdout | hashcat [your options] -o -

i get an error saying “‘crunch’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.” like i have to download crunch for windows and add it to the hashcat file, where can i find and windows download link and how do i install it so it will work with hashcat?

It’s fron john’s developers and they said is the john windows version.

Hope it helps!

Hi Diego thank you for your help, i got it to work i downloaded and installed john the ripper windows verison (john-jumbo-1.9) and got it to work with crunch and hashcat if anyone needs the download link is : https://www.openwall.com/john/ and the command for it to work with crunch and hashcat to save sessions is :

crunch_win.exe 8 8 | john.exe –stdin –session=YOURSESSIONNAME –stdout | hashcat.exe -m 2500 YOURHASH.2500 -a 0 -w 4 –force

Restoring the sessions command is : crunch_win.exe 8 8 | john.exe –restore=YOURSESSIONNAME | hashcat.exe -m 2500 YOURHASH.2500 -a 0 -w 4 –force
