Can't hashcat the password (may contain SPOILERS)

I'm on the second stage, where I need to hashcat the passwd file.

the file is at /etc and the program is at  /usr

What I'm doing is:
cd /etc
../usr/hashcat passwd

But as I use it the program in the file, it doesn't recover any hashes.

What am I doing wrong?

If you run hashcat by itself (with no arguments) it gives you the usage information:

Code:

usage: /usr/hashcat hash

It's expecting the hash itself, not the password file. You're close, though
