Looking for options.

Hi.

I actually tried to see if "combinator2.bin" would be any faster...
I merged 2 files with combinator2 and wanted to run that with the other 3rd file..
When I run the test ... it didnt print anything...  
I tried downloading and compiling another version, with the same results.
Seems like there is a file limit or something as nothing is printed in the OS error log. (the combined file has 600mln lines)


As for rules.. I just tried a test... and seems that with the -a1 mode it creates the same set of candidates... 
So I merged the first 2 files with combinator2 and the 3rd file is getting parsed just like combinator would..

./hashcat -a1 ./Part1_and2.out ./Part3.out --stdout


I'll check the speeds once my current run sets are done.

Thanks for the great hint !!!

There is often multiple ways to do something with hashcat, I would do it like this:

Use the basic combinator.bin (2 files only) to generate the first wordlist file (should be small enough to fit on storage), then transform the third 25k entries to rules (append or prepend) and use hashcat with the first wordlist and these rules.

It should be quite faster since more work can be done by the GPUs, and you should be able to also pause/resume attack since there will be no more piping.
