Im referring to that guide which ran almost the exact same code. I just tried to copy it, and have no idea why i have to use that ?b?b?b?b?b stuff.
Edit: Removed the Word header, but it still shows up in your quote, sorry for that^^.
Edit2: As a far as i understood the whole approach the programm is trying to directly attack the rc4 key instead of guessing the password from which the key is usually created. the whole keyspace is only 2^40. Each key has the same length and therefore i only have to check which key from the keyspace creates the same word header. 2^40 is equal to a 10digit Hex. But seriously i have no idea how hashcat is doing all that stuff and why i need ?b?b?b?b?b. Only thing i know is that hashcat only got exhausted as result.
