oclHashcat-plus mask batchscript - sporet - 11-04-2012

I read here:
A Mask attack is always specific to a password length. For example, if we use the mask ”?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l” we can only crack a password of the length 8. But if the password we try to crack has the length 7 we will not find it. Thats why we have to repeat the attack several times(for ?l, ?l?l, ?l?l?l, ?l?l?l?l ...) each time with one placeholder added to the mask.

My question: Did anyone already wrote such a batch script and would like to share it? The batch script should be intelligent, so that once e.g. a 6 length hash has been cracked the program stops (don't try to crack the hash with the next coming mask 7).
Is there such a bashscript?

plus has supported incremental mode for a while now. so if you use -i with ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l it will find a 7-char passwd that matches that mask as well.
