Question about masks - orionz - 01-10-2015
Hi.
I can't seem to be getting the idea of using masked brute force attack.
Example: i have 8 lowercase letters or numbers in a password.
I could use the following parameters:
1) -1 ?l?d ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
or
2) ?l?d?l?d?l?d?l?d
Is that so far correct?
If yes, then I don't get why the number of possible hashes is so different?
1) - 2821109907456
2) - 4569760000
Am I getting something wrong?

I think I answered this myself, 36^8=2821109907456
In this case does the second mask implies that I have letter-number-letter-number... ?
