Need help cracking a wpa2 handshake - smokey - 07-31-2015
I am trying to crack a 8 digit, lower case password, I normally brute force these within 1 day with 5 x 29 290x.
Today I learned that the passwords don't contain the characters I and o, and I could speed up my attack if I could get hashcat to ignore/skip those 2 characters.
Is this possible with the brute force attack or will I have to use a dictionary?
I don't even know what a rule based attack is so I hope this isnt going to be complicated.
thanks

You could use a custom charset with -1 a-Z and remove "l" and "o".

thanks for the quick reply dude, I never thought it would be that easy.
I will fireup up my rig later today and test with the following command:
oclhashcat -m 2500 -a 3 capture.hccap ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l -n 32 -1 abcde.....etc,etc and I will omit the I and the o.
Hashcat is awesome.
thanks mate.

Your mask is using ?l. If you define a custom charset you should use it.

-1 qwertyuipasdfghjkzxcvbnm sets your charset. Use ?1 as the mask.

Thanks for the follow up guys, I realised my mistake as soon as you pointed it out.
I don't know what the hell I would do without you guys.
thanks
