truncating passwords instead of rejecting them

[philsmd]

You can do it, as mentioned above. With multi rule feature:

If you wish you could also use the "multi rule" feature, see https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=rul...ulti-rules
This allows you to use oclHashcat as follows:
-r my_normal_rule_file.rule -r truncate_at_8.rule

Hence, you don't need to add the "truncation rule" on each line, nor do you need to (quote) "maintain separate rule sets for various lengths"
