A-F 0-9 8 digit mask Help

[mysterdee]

the correct syntax = --increment-min=8

Take a look at the help file for the correct commands syntax.

To view the help file use hashcat --help

apparently i have to add the -i before

i got now hashcat -m 2500 -i --increment-min=8 tester.hccap  -a 3 -1 ABCDEF?d ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

i take it this will do an 8 character mask starting ay 8 characters only 

not 
1 
12 
123 
12345
123456
1234567
12345678

it will do

A83DF23A

correct...

but it stil says it will take a day n half, so no change.

that tells me that even without adding the --increment-min=8 it would still have done an 8 character mask

am i right to think this or is it doing it in increments ..

thanks.
