proper use of increment option

[epixoip]

Thanks for the feedback, but it's still unclear to me how to properly set the increment max to 10 characters (which, in my case, aims for a max of 10 numerical digits).

You had it correct, but your command can be simplified to just:

Code:

hashcat -m 2500 -a 3 -i /Users/ldawg/crack/Dumps/DumpLogAAA-2.hccapx ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d

WPA has a minimum password length of 8 characters, so specifying ''--increment-min 8'' is a no-op -- it will automatically start incrementing at length 8. And if you make your mask exactly 10 positions long, then ''--increment-max 10'' is a no-op as well.
