md5 ("example1234@gmail.com") == 120b8510fd7091bc12f890433f65036f

it's against the forum rules to post hashes

you could use different types of attacks, -a 3, -a 7 (yeah even -a 1) and of course also a -a 0 attack with a --stdout pipe on the left side (e.g. -a 3 on the left) . chose the one that is the fastest and more convenient for you (e.g. less disk space needed, but still very fast speed)

I don't really understand what the real question is. Do you want to increase the length during the attack with --increment ? You could also just run several commands in sequence, like one with ?a?a?a?a and afterwards another one with ?a?a?a?a?a

For a general overview and explanation about mask attack see https://hashcat.net/wiki/?id=mask_attack

Code:

hashcat -m 0 -a 3 -w 3 -O 120b8510fd7091bc12f890433f65036f example?a?a?a?a@gmail.com

you can use mask files instead if you use a mask attack with several different mask that you want to run in sequence (like example?a?a?a?a@gmail.com and example?a?a?a?a?a@gmail.com)

Also note that the static/constant string at the start "example" isn't very good to achieve full acceleration. You could try to work around problems with speed drops with other attack modes and/or stdout/pipe

Code:

hashcat --stdout -a 3 example?a?a?a?a@gmail.com | hashcat -m 0 -w 3 -O 120b8510fd7091bc12f890433f65036f

the problem here is that with -m 0 = MD5 it doesn't really make much sense to use pipes because it will be slower in most cases other hash types (slower ones) are not affected by speed reduction (bottlenecks) when using pipes

Hello again!

Do you have any tips on how i can increase speed.

When i run for example:

Code:

hashcat64.exe -m 0 -a 3 -w 3 -O -1 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789.-_ -o output.txt 120b8510fd7091bc12f890433f65036f example?a?a?a?a@gmail.com

i get

230.1 MH/s feels quite slow on my rtx 2080, i did read that this is because of that there are some limitations to mask attacks. Is there any known way to improve the speed? For all the hashes i try to crack i have them in this format, first a known part then unknown part with known length and then a known part.
