Hashcat 3.30 problems
#1
Hi, 

I have a WPA2 handshake (hccap file) which I am doing tests on and I know the passphrase in advance, as I set it myself

There is clearly something wrong, and I am trying to figure out where the problem is. 

System: GTX 970M with an i7 6700HQ, Hashcat 3.30

Let's assume the passphrase for that handshake is simply: Goldfreak123

When put that same passphrase in a custom.txt dictionary file, hashcat cracks it without issues.   

However my goal is testing the rules functionality of hashcat. So I changed the passphrase in the custom.txt dictionary file to Goldfreak, and created a rule file (temprule.txt) with one entry as follow: $1 $2 $3 

which will append 123 at the end of every passphrase. 

I know the rule works because this command works: 
hashcat64.exe -r temprule.txt --stdout custom.txt 

The output is Goldfreak123 as expected. 

However, the problem is that the rule-based attack itself does not work: 

hashcat64.exe -m 2500 handshake.hccap -r D:\rules\temprule.txt D:\custom.txt

The wordlist or mask you are using is too small.
Therefore, hashcat is unable to utilize the full parallelization power of your device(s).
The cracking speed will drop.

Any ideas why the Rule attack is not working? I did delete the previous potfile.
