One question on barboy's example above. Wouldn't be
the same as
in terms of keyspace e.g. both 26^8? Just beeing probabilistically-ordered?
Background of my question ist the new .hcmask feature in oclHashcat-plus 0.15 I am using. I am looping through hcmasks - starting with full masks without -t setting, managable by my GPU/calculated time, then one with added characters in the .hcmask but using -t.
My calculation based on the wiki (http://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=comb...nt_formula)
would be for example (a simplified example/one entry in a .hcmask file) that:
(26^4 = 456.976)
in .hcmask 1 would be aproximately the same as
(14^5 = 537.824)
in .hcmask2 in terms of keyspace?
Maybe I got something wrong, but I'm not sure...
sorry for my english, hope you get my question
Code:
sp64.bin --pw-min 8 --pw-max 8 -t26 hashcat.hcstat ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l
Code:
sp64.bin --pw-min 8 --pw-max 8 ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l
