What is the default bruteforce charset? - cybhashcat - 05-16-2015
Hello!
i can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere...
when i do the simple command:
oclHashcat64.exe -m 300 -a 3 E:\Hash\hash.txt
in the hopes of bruteforcing a password, is it only the "basic" 62 charset? (numbers, small-case letters, upper-case letters)? or symbols as well?
and if i want to include all symbols, what exactly should i be adding to my command?
Alternatively, if "all symbols" is too much, what i usually recommended/used?
thank you!

Default values are found here: http://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=oclhashcat#default_values
So for -a 3:

For "all symbols" you'd use the ?a character class with an appropriate mask, e.g. ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a for 95^8. See http://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack#masks

ohh now i get it! "?a" includes all the above char-sets within itself.
so in order to brute-force every password combination between 0 characters and lets say 9 i need to write:
Code:
oclHashcat64.exe ?a -m 300 -a 3 E:\Hash\hash.txtRE: What is the default bruteforce charset? - epixoip - 05-16-2015
No, that mask would only brute force passwords with a length of 1. Actually it wouldn't do anything because your arguments are in the wrong order. If you wanted to brute force "all" characters lengths 1-9, your command would be:
Code:
oclHashcat64 -a 3 -i -m 300 E:\Hash\hash.txt ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?aRE: What is the default bruteforce charset? - cybhashcat - 05-16-2015

OH, now i get it.
thank you so much for all the help!
