generating wordlist thru rule-based attack

[Snoopy]

hi,
i am trying to build a word list as under :
mywords.rule
$abcd

this should be $a$b$c$d as $ works on single chars not on whole strings, same with $1$1$1$1

but rules are modifiying given passes so you have to give at least one "empty" pw as input
front.txt

Code:

$a$b$c

back.txt

Code:

$1$1$1

empty.txt has just a "new line" (enter on first line) inside so
the -a0 is needed
.\hashcat.exe --stdout -a0 -r .\front.txt -r .\back.txt .\empty.txt
results in output
abc111

but as i mentioned in your other thread, you should give hahscat utils combinator a chance which will generate all combinations from 2 gvien textfiles
