Rule Question - slawson - 08-26-2019
If I run a dictionary attack with a rule, does it automatically run the dictionary attack without applying the rule.
I realize that it only takes a few seconds to run a plain dictionary attack, but I am curious.

Fair question.
If the rule file contains the "do nothing" rule directive ( : - just a colon by itself), then the original unmodified input words will be used.

hashcat will not run the unmodified word unless a rule in the rules file returns the unmodified word again.

Thanks for the info.
