beginner help, best method? - h1430210 - 05-12-2018
Hi, what would be the best way to find a 9 character long string consisting of lowercase words and ending with numbers? The only thing is that I don't know how many words or numbers there are. I have a list of all English words, but I can't figure out how I'd do this. Simply brute-forcing it with my computer takes too long.

You need to apply mask attack with 9 characters.

I tried that, It would take me many years it says.
hashcat64.exe -m 2500 -a3 "[file]" -1 ?d?l ?l?l?l?l?l?1?1?1?1

Maybe maskprocessor will help.

I don't understand, how do I use it?

No reason to use maskprocessor for such a simple mask attack. WPA is a rather slow hash mode and nine characters is rather long for a brute force. Find more clever attacks or die cracking.

Which clever attack? Can you show that on example?
