Compiling hashcat for Windows with Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Tested on Windows 10 x64, should also work to build hashcat for Windows on Linux.

Installation

Enable WSL.

Press the win + r key on your keyboard simultaneously and in the "Run" popup window type bash and make sure to install additional dependencies necessary for hashcat compilation

sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 make git
git clone https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat
git clone https://github.com/win-iconv/win-iconv
cd win-iconv/
patch < ../hashcat/tools/win-iconv-64.diff
sudo make install
cd ../

Building

You've already cloned the latest master revision of hashcat repository above, so switch to the folder and type "make win" to start compiling hashcat

cd hashcat/
make win

The process may take a while, please be patient. Once it's finished, close WSL. Press the win + r keys together and (in the "Run" popup window) type cmd, using cd navigate to the hashcat folder e.g.

cd "C:\Users\user\hashcat"

and start hashcat by typing

hashcat.exe
