Best long brute-force masks
#1
Hi all,

Searched, didn't quite find this-

I'm looking for advice from the more seasoned guys, with respect to the most effective masks to use when ?a and ?l?u?d are not feasible.

For instance, I'm looking at some md5crypt hashes, have exhausted 7 character ?a, and am running 8 characters ?l?u?d??'!@#$%^&*', which will take ~3 months (at my ~35 000K/sec capability). This is borderline feasible for me, but obviously 9 and 10 characters will have to be very specific masks; this is where I'd like feedback on what you've had success with.

Keep in mind I have no clues whatsoever to what the hash might contain, could be anything.

I'm thinking these to start-

?u?l?l?l?l?l?l?d?s
?u?l?l?l?l?d?d?d?d
?u?l?l?l?l?d?d?d?d?s

I would really appreciate your input.

Thanks!

***EDIT*** While we're at it, what symbols are worth including? I'm thinking you wouldn't see ( and ) or / very much, but !@#$%^&* you would?
