Newbie question on using hashcat64

[Spork Schivago]

What wrong with toggle rules (in rules folder)? Also note that a wordlist that has 10 words is too less to keep your gpu busy. I'd suggest using toggle rules in stdout mode and redirect the output into a file which you then use as wordlist in combination with a different ruleset.

Thank you for the reply.   It is my understanding the ruleset would be used for someone who tried creating a complex password, using up to a maximum of 5 capital characters, to try and prevent someone from logging in.   I'm not certain this is the case.

I think we just have a long username and they could have capitalized all of it, or used a passphrase with certain words capitalized.

I have tried all the toggle rulesets and came back with nothing with what we think the password might be.   I'd rather just quickly test these ten or so words, with all versions of capitalization possible, before I continue with my brute-force attempts.

I have much larger wordlists that I'm using rulesets on, but they take time.   For example, because the password hints that it's a persons name, I downloaded a few wordlists that contain a lot of female names.   Then I've downloaded a few other word lists and combine them or try combinations from each list.

Thanks!
