First thanks for the help, I knew I was doing something wrong.
Been reading this wiki (https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack) over and over, but or my english is not as good as I thought or I'm missing something more. Let me explain.
In that wiki mask are defined as placeholders, but here is the first problem, If I don't know the order how can I set a mask? I don't know what position the number/s or the letter/s or special characters has in the password.
I thought that If I don't define a mask it uses brute force without mask, and try every candidate from length 1 to 64 using this already defined user custom characters.
The second problem I have it's with the mask itself, imagine than now I want to use a mask, on my example:
If I'm understanding this wiki right, this should give an exception as I have set the mask with letters but as there are numbers and special characters on my custom charset, this should give an error, something that it's not happening.
PD: sorry for noob question, but I'm really lost here :S
