Best for DES? - giveen - 07-20-2013

Can you recommend a rule or a mask/charset best for DES?

Thank you. I run a Radeon HD 6670, so I am a bit slow.

Rules/masks depend on what you wanna crack (digits only, alphanum, etc)
Do you have any hints about the password ?

Absolutely none. I was just looking for some tips on what to look for.

des is limited to a max length 8. you can do a full keyspace search up to 6 maybe. and then use full keyspace search for 7 and 8 but reduce -t
