Using less than 8 Characters on 22000 - TickleMyPickle69 - 11-04-2022

So, im trying to work out how i can increase my chances of success at cracking 22000.

What i'd like to be able to do is use a dictionary, then apply a rule set to add years and dates to it.

The issue is that, the original dictionary words are less than 8 characters, so hashcat throws them out.

Is there any way i can force hashcat to use all words in the dictionary?

A possibility could be generate your candidates with another Hashcat instance (using --stdout), and pipe them into your command.

Option -S will do the trick:

Code:
$ hashcat --help | grep slow

 -S, --slow-candidates          |      | Enable slower (but advanced) candidate generators    |

Code:
$ cat wordlist.txt

abcd

aaaa

bbbb

$ cat 2022.rule

$2 $0 $2 $0

$2 $0 $2 $1

$2 $0 $2 $2

$ hashcat -m 22000 hash.hc22000 -r 2022.rule wordlist.txt

What exactly does -S do? as in, what is "Advanced" about the candidate generator? and where should it be used?

Thanks, that did the trick!

@TickleMyPickle69 - no problem, you're welcoem.
@cybhashcat - explained in slow-candidates-mode.md (hashcat/docs) or here on hashcat git:
