Mask Attack/Charset Usage

[jadedkiller]

Sweet. Thanks a ton for explaining. I had completely overlooked the ?a mask. That resolved my issue and cracking is going much faster now.

mask attack is just brute force with per-position character set. so set the first position to upper alpha (?u), and the rest of the positions to whatever keyspace you want to search. if you want to search the entire keypsace, then use ?a in each position up to the max length you want to search.

pretty simple.
