MaskAttack Increment Error - optikali - 05-15-2014 Per https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack Quote:"A Mask attack is always specific to a password length. For example, if we use the mask â€?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, each time with one placeholder added to the mask. This is transparently automated by using the â€--increment†flag." This works: Code: ./hashcat-cli64.bin -m 131 -a 3 -o recovered.txt hashmssql.txt ?u?d?s This does not: Code: ./hashcat-cli64.bin -m 131 -a 3 -o recovered.txt hashmssql.txt ?u?d?s --increment Generates error: Code: unrecognized option '--increment' Am I simply misunderstanding the syntax needed, or something more fundamental? Thank you! RE: MaskAttack Increment Error - epixoip - 05-15-2014 cpu hashcat doesn't have an increment switch, as increment is always on. RE: MaskAttack Increment Error - atom - 05-16-2014 that's right, just let me add this: you can turn it off by setting --pw-min to the same value as --pw-max RE: MaskAttack Increment Error - optikali - 05-16-2014 Ah, got it. Thank you epixoip and atom. |
