Understanding Mask - Jackjames - 01-07-2021

As i am new and trying to understand how to setup hashcat correcly i have some questions.

Im using the gui version to make it easier in the start.

I want to set the brute force on 8 character password.

I want the password to contain: Small letters, symbols, and digits

So i have selected mask : ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

I set enable mask increment mode 7 - 8  ( as it is 8 characters.)

I enable custom charset 1 and set this to: ?l?s?d


Is this the correct way of setting it up ?

I started it but it runs for like 10 min not trying even 1 combination.

To perform said attack you need to use this mask -1 ?l?s?d ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1 and then the increment mode... -i --increment-min=7 --increment-max=8 resulting in this a command that would look like this:

Code:
hashcat -m xxxx -a 3 path_to_hashfile -i --increment-min=7 --increment-max=8 -1 ?l?s?d ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

Yes i figured it out. Im using the GUI version that the guy on the forum made.
