and there the build in charset, your are using ?a which means ALL plain ascii chars/signs which result in
6.634.204.312.890.625 possibilites (95^8)
lower upper and digits would be (62^8)
218.340.105.584.896 possibilities
so your custom charset is just wrong for this
anyway this task is poorly written, what is meant by symbols? length of passĀ or really special chars like ?!"/( ??? the text isnt really clear about this
