Royce,
Much thanks for your patience.

req-include works like I am thinking but here another example:

cat rockyou.dictionary | apply a rule set | req-include 16 | hashcat ....

Is there another utility using stdin can apply a rule-set before pumping into req-include

Any basic dictionary will not have the prerequisites of special, lower, etc until some rules are applied.

It would be great if hashcat itself had the "req-include" functionality as a command line argument.

Thanks again in advance.
