Increment knowing the last chars of password - essence - 05-12-2018
Hi there,
I wonder if there is a way to instruct hashcat to make incremental brute force knowing the last chars of a password.
E.g. given I know the last three chars as "ord", would like to instruct hashcat to do:
ord
?aord
?a?aord
?a?a?aord
?a?a?a?a?aord
?a?a?a?a?a?aord
It would be something specular to https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=frequently_asked_questions#i_have_a_half-known_password_i_know_the_first_4_letters_can_hashcat_get_the_rest_of_the_password
regards,
essence

you can use attack mode 7 with a single-line dict

... or hashcat mask files (https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack#hashcat_mask_files)
... or salted hash types instead of unsalted ones (if there are alternative -m modes available for that algorithm)
