Escaping '?' in mask - mrleau - 07-24-2015
I might have missed it in the doc but I was wondering what's the correct way to escape '?' in a mask.
If I do something like:
cudaHashcat64.bin -a 3 -m 0 -1 ? myhash ?1
or cudaHashcat64.bin -a 3 -m 0 -1 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789? myhash ?1
I don't get an error but it doesn't crack the hash, which for my testing was '?' and '??'
I tried using a hcmask like following:
hcmask = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789?!@#$%^&*()_+-=,?1
cudaHashcat64.bin -a 3 -m 0 myhash myhcmask.hcmask
and I get:
Syntax error: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789?!@#$%^&*()_+-=
but if I put a double ? it works it cracks the hash.
hcmask = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789??!@#$%^&*()_+-=,?1
cudaHashcat64.bin -a 3 -m 0 myhash myhcmask.hcmask
or in command line this works
cudaHashcat64.bin -a 3 -m 0 -1 ?? myhash ?1
Using a double ?? doesn't seem like a standard way of escaping I was expecting \? like for , or #
