WPA Rule based - andrushaa - 02-09-2017

Feels like I am doing something wrong 
- I read https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=cracking_wpawpa2
- made a cmd like this
Code:
hashcat64.exe --force --status -w 3 -m 2500 -r rules/best64.rule -o pass.txt capture.hccap phpbb3.dict
pause


Right off the bat - progress is up to 50% with 97% rejected? Attached the screenshot
as time goes - rejected lowers - to 77% in about 5 min



What am I doing wrong?

UPD1: tried rockyou dictionary - started from progress 0%, rejected 98%
Also, is it possible to have hashcat to process words with 8+ characters when using a rule?

<======================>
Secondly, how to make --restore work?
Do I have to set --session prior to running a job?
<======================>

Thank you!

About rejected, please read this: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=frequently_asked_questions#what_means_rejected_in_the_status_view

The --restore works automatically, there's no need to use --session.

However read this about --restore : https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=frequently_asked_questions#can_i_restore_a_hashcat_session
