How do I use .hash word list files to pentest?

[gmaslin]

I downloaded what I thought was a ready to use 7gb wordlist, when I -xvf'd the tarball, I discovered a bunch of .hash files? I tried to use them to pentest my router but I receive a "no such file or directory" error. Is this just a chmod problem or is there a special way to use these wordlists?

could you provide us the exact command you put to receive this error?

Thank you for your attention. aircrack-ng -w /root/7gb%20set/*.hash /root/*.cap

Note: I'm logged in as root, '7gb set' is a folder with 3900 .hash files inside and I only have one capture file in the/root Home folder. My hope was that it would step through all the tables to search out a match.

[arist0v]

if you work with a single .hash and single .cap did it work?(so the full name instead of *.

Not to be obnoxious but in earnest; why would that make a difference?

[arist0v]

because my guess is that aircrack try to find a file named literally : "*.pcacp" and "*.hash"

I did as you suggested with no change in result. Does aircrack-ng read/accept .hash files for p/w matching? I'm tempted to delete these .hash files and just use a plain wordlist in .txt format. Please point me to a good source of these if you or anyone reading can.

Next issue:
My router is listed as pixiewps vulnerable but when I run the following in my updated Kali:

reaver -i wlan0mon -b XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -K 1 -g 4 -N -Z -vv

it cannot find the WPS pin. I'm afraid of a false sense of security here so what can I tweak to get a better pentest? Does the pixiewps script in Kali 2.0 recognize the results of the -N (NACK flag)? Is using the -S (dhsmall flag) still recommended? What about changing the starting number pin try sequence?
