Brute Force only Certain Characters - UKLondon2025 - 02-10-2021
Hi All
I know that you can do a brute force via all characters:
hashcat -m <Code> -a 3 -1 -?l?u?d?s -3 ?d hashes.txt --potfile-disable ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
However how can I only include certain characters in the search:
An Example:
ABCDEFabcdef12345!"£$%.
Kind Regards

Hi,
When I try and run the command on Windows I receive the following message:
If you specify a custom charset, you must specify a mask.
What could be the cause of this, is it because I have a special character in the section !"£$%.
If yes how would I overcome this?
Kind Regards

show us the command you are using. Otherwise, guessing at what you're telling us could result in improper diagnostics.
