different attack types

[ttilt]

Hi,

I've been looking everywhere for a thorough documentation on the different attack types supported by hashcat but haven't been able to find much. For example:
1) what are the differences between straight words and combination.
2) the "toggle case" attack type is the same as using rule "t"? If so why make it a separate attack type? What do the toggle case min-max do?
3) What is the permutation attack type? What do the perm-min and perm-max do?


Thanks,
JC
