* Copy output to a file (or redirect output to a file (>) directly) and run it with hashcat using mode -m 11600 = 7-Zip

Note: independent from how you launch `7z2hashcat`, i.e. either the perl script directly or the windows executable, you always need to launch your shell/`cmd`/`konsole`/`xterm` application first and only afterwards start `7z2hashcat`, otherwise, if you for instance just double-click the script/executable, it might appear to you that the program just opens and closes immediately.
