What I'm trying to say is that there is no one place where all the rules for the hashcats are clearly documented.
In the distribution, the file hashcat\docs\rules.txt has two sections of rules, the first for both, then the second for hashcat only, but they are not up to date. The "Rule-based Attack" wiki page is more readable and up to date, but not so clear about which hashcat the rules are for.
And neither has the reject rules. The ones implemented by hashcat should be documented on the wiki, too, as hashcat doesn't support every john reject rule.
The goal should be to have the "Rule-based Attack" wiki the one place to go for complete and up to date rules. (Rather than have us comb through hashcat\docs\changes.txt looking for the new ones.)
