I try to use a mask over 8, but it always shows this:
Input.Mode .....: Mask (?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1) [8]
I've tried 10, 12, 15.. it always indicates 8 instead, is this the max supported mask when brute forcing?
I'm using cudaHashcat64.exe with a GTX 970.
You should probably show us your command line
e.g.
cudaHashcat64.exe -m 2500 --session=Sess1 -a 3 -i "..\WiFi Handshakes\Wifi-01.hccap" ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l
= 10 mask length, but it produces this:
Input.Mode.....: Mask (?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l) [8]
You're using -i, that's why. You should probably know what the switches you're using mean.
was gonna call it, but meh
Oh we all knew, just wanted to verify
Please point me to where it says that 8 is the max length of a mask if used together with the "-i" parameter.
EDIT: Okay, since WPA is minimum 8 it starts there, I thought it indicated my defined mask length and shortened it. I suppose it will run the length of the mask defined and increment all the way.
It's not the max, it will just take a very long time to brute force length 8 before moving to length 9 (if it ever does.) If you actually want to brute force length 10 (impossible) without brute forcing lengths 8 & 9 (also impossible), get rid of the incremental switch.
