Problem with special characters in mask - PaulEhrlich2223 - 01-28-2023
Hi,
I want to use costom charsets to crack a password of mine. In this costom charset, I use special characters and that seems to be the problem.
After the following input,
C:\....\hashcat-6.2.6>hashcat.exe -a 3 -w 3 -m13721 ...\cont_hash.tc -1 1234567890!"§$%&/()=?#@ -2 wq asdfg?1?1?2
I recieve this output:
If you specify a custom charset, you must also specify a mask.
The problem is the special character part of this: -1 1234567890!"§$%&/()=?#@
If I remove the, the programm runs. Is there a way to specially mark them like ? with "??" ?
Using -1 ?s?d isnt an option due to runtime?
Thanks for your help.
Paul
Ps: Directorys changed for post, their not the problem

Put your custom mask between double quotes.
As for "?", you need to double it.
As for double-quote-character itself, you need to put it at the end.
Finally, remark that the § is not an ASCII character.
Code:
-1 "1234567890!§$%&/()=??#@""
