Brute Force / Mask

[Jack]

Hmm, what about reading help and wiki ?

first, you're not going to brute force past length 8 on CPU. you probably won't even get past length 7.
second, you don't need to specify --pw-max
third, -c with -a 3 does nothing
forth, you can replace "-1 ?l?u?d?s ?1" with "?a"

so while your command line works, a more appropriate command line would be:

Code:

hashcat-cli64 -n 2 -m 2711 -a 3 --pw-min 5 hash.txt ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a

Thanks, does this make it more likely to get the password?
