crack something between 6 and 10 characters with lowercase and numbers - royalrussian92 - 01-28-2021
Hello crackers
I am new to this, so pardon me.
I am trying to crack a WPA2 handshake.
I have the idea the pass could be between 6 and 10 characters long, and i want to try lowercase and numbers, but have no idea about the placement of these characters.
how do i get it to try this. do i really need to make a mask ?1?1?1?1?1?3?3 and so on? (i mean, this would only try to crack a 7 character password, wouldn't it?)
i mean..the code could be yadayada123 or j39sj392, i have no idea.

Hi.
What you want is "-1 ?l?d" for a custom charset of lowercase and digits.
Then you can simply use this mask (10chars): ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
with these additional parameters: "-i --increment-min=8"
This will enable increment mode = when one length is exhausted it's automatically switching to length+1.
And it'll start the increment mode at length 8.
Why 8, when you wanted to start at 6?!
Well, WPA2 passwords have a minimum length of 8.
Lengths of 6-7 are not possible.
