Thank you for the link and explanation, I understand what you are saying about piping from hashcat, which is something I shall certainly try.
I also understand your approach and theory about people capitalising only a few characters in a given password and your method to optimise an attack exploiting this behaviour, which I must say is very clever.
I personally, and it is only my personal opinion, like to make very small word lists tailored towards each task separately. It means I don’t need to optimise my tests as much as other users because my lists are so small and I am only playing if I am honest about it. I don’t do it for a job or anything, just a hobby.
I first like to start with a straight pass of my word lists, then move on to a simple rule-set. If this still fails I carefully select my lists and manipulate them in my own way, mainly guesswork I must admit, but I like to “tinker†as it is part of the fun.
I have many graduated rule-sets and these additional options (above) allowing me to toggle to varying degrees is just another part of it. I simply hoped the rule lists above would give users more choice and it was a way I could contribute, albeit in a very small way, to hashcatplus.
Anyway, I hope that explains my approach a little better and thanks again for your patience.
