Need some tips - skija - 03-23-2018

Hello guys I'm new to all of this and I read the rules and wanted to ask you guys for any tips on cracking WPA2 hash, how would you guys do it? Also I see there is increment option how would command look with it for example from 8 to 10 characters? Thanks in advance

Ah, yes - good catch (though I usually tell people to always add it regardless, because 99.9% of the time, they don't want longer candidate passwords (and if they do, they either usually already know better, or they're trying an attack that will never work anyway)).
