gotcha and what does the rule64 actually do, i saw it takes 65 days but without it takes 22 hours can you elaborate

As I said earlier, it just makes new candidates based on variations of the passwords in the wordlist, so for example, "Penguin" could be turned into:
penguin
PENGUIN
Penguin1
Penguin2024
etc and there would be 64 variations per password candidate, hence why it takes roughly 64x longer when you use rules, because it's 64x more passwords to try
