Hi San 
Thanks for your help, I do understand how to make the permutations work when writing it directly in the command.
Example.
oclHashcat-plus32.exe -m 2500 <test.hcap> -a 4 --rules-file test.txt -o found.txt
The above works for me. I also understand the other examples you kindly provided. However I am making a script that has this standard line …
oclHashcat-plus32.exe -m 2500 <test.hcap> --rules-file test.txt -o found.txt
My script asks me which .hcap file I want to test and which dictionary I wish to use. It also asks for which rule file I would like to use, this is where I would like the opportunity to set the permutations option. I wanted to try to make the permutation option within the rule file itself, not the original command line. I am sorry if I am not explaining myself very well.
Everything works very well apart from getting the permutations to work solely from the rule file. I thought I would be able to switch the permutations on or off depending on which of my pre written rule files I chose.
Hi
Sorry about this, a friend has just e-mailed me to let me know that the permutation option is an attack mode and therefore not available in the rule file.
I'll alter my script to allow for this.
Thanks for you help anyway
