is it possible to try different mask at once? - j.hashcat - 04-22-2014

Hi

I was wondering if it is possible to try different mask in a brute force attack in a single command line.I mean instead of executing each time with each mask.

The following masks take a couple of seconds each and would be great to just test them with a single command.

xxxxxxxx?d?d?d?d?d
Xxxxxxxx?d?d?d?d?d
XXXXXXX?d?d?d?d?d

If you are using oclHashcat / cudaHashcat , then the answer is yes, see:
http://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack#hashcat_mask_files

you could put each of those masks into a separate line of a .hcmask file and start oclHashcat only once.

There are also some example hcmask files in [oclHashcat_root]/masks

Hi

that is super, thanks for the tip. That can save me a lot of time.

I tested and works great. Also I see the other files. It saved me a lot of time thanks.
