Hello
With --brain mode I can perform an attack Wordlist:
Quote:hashcat --brain-client --brain-host=127.0.0.1 --brain-port=7890 --brain-password=xx -z -m 23800 -a 0 -O -w 3 txt.hash Wl.txt
but it doesn't work with Wordlist + Rules:
Quote:c:\hashcat>hashcat --brain-client --brain-host=127.0.0.1 --brain-port=7890 --brain-password=xx -z -m 23800 -a 6 -O -w 3 txt.hash Wl.txt ?d?d?d?d
Invalid attack mode (-a) value specified in brain-client mode.
Why?

`-a 6` isn't "Wordlist + Rules".

Sorry it is not Wordlist + Rules but Hybrid Attack, I can't correct my post

Well, hashcat just doesn't support using -z with -a 6; -z also doesn't work with stdin.

If I understand correctly, brain mode does not work with Hybrid Attack ?
because without the -z option it doesn't work either
