rule vs. mask - tibit - 08-25-2015
Trying to add some digits to long passwords, I noticed that using a mask (?d?d?d?d) works nice, but when using a rulefile ($1$2$3$4 etc) it doesn't find anything. This happens for passwords longer than 31 characters.
So mask ok; rule fails.
Is this normal?
thanks

I didnt nottice this issue. Are You sure that got all possible numbers (0000-9999) in rule file ?
RE: rule vs. mask - tibit - 08-25-2015
Yes I am shure every possible option from 0000-9999 is in the rule file.

See here: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=frequently_asked_questions#what_is_the_maximum_supported_password_length
Quote:For fast hashes, the important factor is the attack mode:
attack-mode 0, the maximum length is 31
This is not the case for attack-mode 1 or above
