hashcat mask with No 2 identical adjacent characters - moda20 - 03-12-2023
Hello, a newbie here and i am trying to trim the mask i am using to crack a hash, knowing that there is not 2 adjacent characters that are identical.
considerring i am using this mask : -1 ?l?d ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1 which is for lowercase alphanumeric characters, is there a way to create the rule of no 2 identical adjacent characters or do i need to create a wordlist ?

short answer no there is no rule for that, anyway depending on your hashalgorithm, any logic for sorting out like this will mostly slow down the whole cracking task to a point where testing these extra candidates will be faster
so no, you will have to create a wordlist or just run the full mask
