Hello guys,
So I have this old Word 2003 file that I forgot the password of.
The 2 good news are :
The 2 bad news are :
That's for the last point that I could really use your help guys.
I know the password is probably a combination of 2 words among 4, let's say :
Each of those words probably start with a capital letter, but maybe not.

So I have this old Word 2003 file that I forgot the password of.
The 2 good news are :
- My RTX 2070 can try more than 200 million passwords per second on the hash
- I remember more or less how I composed the password, and if I can setup the correct rules, the number of combinations to try is not so high
The 2 bad news are :
- I know the password is very long
- The possible combinations are a bit complex, and I don't know how to setup the rules in hashcat
That's for the last point that I could really use your help guys.
I know the password is probably a combination of 2 words among 4, let's say :
- Apple
- Orange
- Carrot
- Peach
Each of those words probably start with a capital letter, but maybe not.
And :
- A few numbers, probably put at the end, like 31444 or 45333
- A special character, like _ probably put at the beginning and the end, but also possibly between the words
Now the 1 million $ question : how do you setup an attack that smartly manage these parameters to make it feasible to recover the password ?
