Seems like Hashcat Brute force mode stopped properly working. Nothing was changed in terms proprietary nvidia drivers, though I have updated linux kernel several times, not sure when exactly it started to behave like this.
Example: hashcat -m 2500 -a 3 -w 3 [path-to-hccapx-file] ?a?a?a?a?a
Return: Skipping mask '?a?a?a?a?a' because it is smaller than the minimum password length.
After that hashcat stops. I've tried any number of chars, it returns the same apart from when I go over 9 chars. Used to work with any number of chars. What I'm missing out here?
