how to properly handle charsets in hybrid mode
#1
Hi,

I want to use a charset 1 that combines digits and lowercase letters.

basically:
hashcat.exe -O -w3 -a6 -m1000 --session ..\NAME -o ..\NAME.txt --increment ..\uncracked.txt Wordlist.txt ?n?n?n
but: if i add
-1 ?l?n
I get "Syntax error in mask" (even without the space between 1 and?)
If I use
-1 ..\LN.hcchr
hashcat does not even complain if the file does not exist and candidates end with \n and other "interesting" elements - so there must be something completely wrong either with custom charsets in hybrid moder or with my usage of it


I found this one https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/issues/1353 - but it seems to be only relevant if mask is read from a file.

OK, stupid me. its not ?n but ?d for digits not numbers.
-1 ?d?l
seems to work as expected - BUT still Hashcat does not complain about the missing hcchr file which is weird?!
