mask password without 3 or more recurring characters - postak05 - 07-17-2016
Hello,
is it possible to use mask, but exclude all passwords containing 3 or more same characters in row(case insensitive)?
Example of passwords to avoid (with marked repetition):
aaabcdefgh
qwertyyyyyy
zzyyrrrooee
qwEeE110
Example of passwords not to avoid:
qqwweerrttyy
12312312311211
aabababa
My idea is, that there's really low probability, that generated password will contain 3 or more same characters in row. Also there are (probably) no words containing 3 or more same characters in row. So we can dramatically lower the count of passwords we must check.
Thanks in advance!

maskprocessor can do that for "aaa", but not for different cases like "EeE".

Thanks! I will try to find... Is there posibility for "case insensitive" situation in future release? I'm using Hashtopus (distributed cracking) and when using maskprocessor I have to prepare wordlist (huge) first :-(. Would be nice to implement "--seq-max=" and "--occurence-max=" options directly to Hashcat :-)
edit: oh, "--seq-max=2" option
Thanks anyway for great work!

No, can't work from within hashcat
