Help on Rule or Mask or something

[pdparisi]

Thank you for the pointers. I really appreciate it.

Here are the two command lines that I think incorporate your recommendations:

Hashcat -a6 f:\crack\500words.txt ?s --stdout > f:\crack\500words-specchar6.txt

Hashcat -a7 f:\crack\500words-specchar6.txt f:\crack\500words-specchar6.txt --stdout > f:\crack\500words-specchar7.txt

Is that correct? Do I have it closer?

Thanks,
Paul.
