Problem with 4 Character Password crack - TwistedPower - 04-11-2012

Just so it is clear up front. The crack is being done on MY OWN wireless network.

So here is the problem. I put a 4 character password on my WPA2 network. It contains both an upper and lowercase letter, a number and a symbol. I have captured the 4 way handshake in backtrack-5 and converted the capture into a .hccap file.

I have moved the file to my windows computer.

I am in command promp in windows 7 64bit in the proper directory and i run:

olcHashcat-plus64.exe -m 2500 -n 80 -a 3 capture.hccap -1 ?l?d?s?u ?1?1?1?1

It runs without any problems except that... It does not crack the code. It says "Status.......Exhausted" Am I typing it wrong?

I am assuming that ?l?d?s?u covers every letter number and symbol and the the ?1?1?1?1 is for a 4 length password?

I am trying to figure out the line to test all 4 characters with EVERY single combination. Thanks.

-_-
as far as i know.. the minimum password length for wpa/wpa2 is 8 character.. range is 8 - 64

What M@LIK is saying is absolutly correct and thats why all tries < length 8 get rejected.

See your rejection counter.
