Greetings,
I've created the digit/special file using the mask file you suggested. If I combine a standard English dictionary with my newly generated digits_special.txt using the combinator can I expect this environment to find a passwd like Keepitreel99$ for example? My VERY basic knowledge in this area tells me no. That it's word based on the dictionary and not phrase based.
Knowing her passwd habits it's unlikely it's a single dictionary word but more likely a phrase followed by the number and special characters. Though I can't necessarily rule the single word scenario out. I suppose I could start with an English dictionary and go from there. The rockyou.txt run only took about 50 minutes.
For now I think I'll start with just the English Dictionary. Then repeat that run using a rule file with 'c' within. Then use your example and combine(combinator.bin) the number/special characters with the dictionary for a hybrid run. The rerun it using the 'c' rule. I figure the best way to get a handle on this is experiment. fortunately the syntax is fairly intuitive though masks, rules, etc are much less so to a newbie.
Thanks for your guidance.
