JTR finishing very quickly with rockyou.txt and not cracking the hash

Question

I've been fumbling through the world of Information Security by going through the HTB challenges, and I've come across an issue I just can't seem to find an answer for. During one of the challenges I'm trying to crack a zip password using JTR using the rockyou.txt wordlist as when I use the standard one it goes to incremental. However, JTR finishes in 0.01s with a message that I can't seem to find the meaning for. I first started by getting the hash:

zip2john username.zip > user.txt

ver 1.0 efh 5455 efh 7875 username.zip/username/password.zip PKZIP Encr: 2b chk, TS_chk, cmplen=261, decmplen=249, crc=CFA48832

I have then ran the following:

john -wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt user.txt

I want to mainly understand what it means with the message !!rebound!!..*7¡Vamos!

I have already done the following:

Checked around for other issues and their fixes, my john.pot file is empty and my log file is as follows:

I'm still very new to this world and still learning so forgive me is this blatantly obvious to you and I'm just being silly, but any pointers in the right direction and any help will be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Normally John would take longer to run through rockyou.txt with a zip hash. I don't know why it takes so short but I guess that you may only have a cropped version of rockyou.txt.

The string !!rebound!!..*7¡Vamos! means, that John is currently trying all passwords in rockyou.txt from !!rebound!! to *7¡Vamos!.

John is not cracking the hash and not giving you a password, either because the hash got corrupted by bash being confused with some special characters or simply because the plaintext is not in rockyou.txt.
