Use of "/" slash in mask - Nay - 08-13-2018
Hello all,
Just found out that the slash operator cannot be used solo in a mask.
hashcat -m 0 -a 6 dict.txt ?d\/ -> works
hashcat -m 0 -a 6 dict.txt \/?d -> works
hashcat -m 0 -a 6 dict.txt \/ -> doesn't work
hashcat -m 0 -a 6 dict.txt '/' -> doesn't work
I know adding a slash operato can be done in many different ways. Just wanted to point out / ask here why it is not accepted even with the backslash prior to it.

If the mask is a valid path hashcat will try to load it as a hcmask file. Workaround is to create a hcmask file that has the / inside.
