BF fails - dTest - 11-06-2015
Having a possible strange issue with BF'ing a WPA. (v1.36)
Dictionary attack and rules based got it. Password is 9 characters all lowercase
But not BF.
What am I doing wrong?
Code:
./oclHashcat64.bin -m 2500 -a 3 -t 10 --outfile=./x.txt ./mywifi.hccap ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?aThis had a runtime of about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Quote:./oclHashcat64.bin -m 2500 -a 3 -t 10 --outfile=./x.txt ./mywifi.hccap ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l
This had a run time of 1 hour 7 minutes.
Isn't the '?a' all characters, numbers and symbols, and '?l' just lowercase? Why does a vastly larger keyspace have essentially the same run time?

It's the same keyspace for both attacks. Do you understand what "-t 10" does?
Hint: Both of your attacks have a keyspace of 10^9.
