--increment option - mmerkenhof - 08-24-2018

Hi Guys,

i'm using hashcat for a couple of days now and have great fun with it.

i'm cracking a SQL 2008 Hash but it is taking forever, so i am searching for a good Mask or Mask options.

i am trying the --increment option but i can't figure out how to increment but each increment the last keyspace must be a digit.

so lets say this is what i want:
.... -1 ?l -2 ?d ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?2

?1
?1?2
?1?1?2
?1?1?1?2
?1?1?1?1?2
etc

is this even possible?

Hope to hear from you soon!

Greetings,

M

yes, your hcmask file should look like this:

Code:
?l

?l?d

?l?l?d

?l?l?l?d

?l?l?l?l?d

?l?l?l?l?l?d

?l?l?l?l?l?l?d

?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?d

?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?d

BTW: mask attack is normally not the best strategy to crack a hash, except if you know that the password was NOT human choosen (it's a very random password) or if you already tried other attack modes like dictionary attack with rules etc
