Help with special character rule

[hashnewb]

I don't quite get what you are trying to do and what your command looks like. Why don't you just show us what you currently try and we will explain what is wrong ! That way it would be much easier.

normally rules are just specified as a path to the rule file, with the -r command line option:

Code:

hashcat -m 0 -a 0 -w 3 -r my.rules hash.txt dict.txt

the "my.rules" is a path to the rule files, it could for instance also be rules/best64.rule (or on windows: -r rules\best64.rule).

That is how you normally use rules, see https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=rule_based_attack

Sure, I have created my own rules, most of them are working. It's just the ones that add different symbols to the end that are not working.

This is my command
hashcat64.exe -m2500 -w4 -r rules/DEADFILE.rule logs.hccapx rockyou.txt

In DEADFILE.rule some of the rules for adding symbols are
$@
$)

For those two rules I want it to add the @ symbol on the end of the passwords ad run it again, and then add the ) symbol to the end and run it again.

Rules like
$1
$a

They work fine, they add a "1" and the "a", to the end, but its not working with symbols
