Hashcat 256 characters limit

(Yesterday, 01:38 AM)NeverForget2011 Wrote: I'm working on cracking a hash that has a password length between 250 to 350 characters. Is there anyway I can increase this limit in hashcat? I'm using a Combination attack since all the the words and numbers are known for the password. The problem is the order in which it must be entered with special characters randomly added. Without knowing the exact order I'm looking at trillions of tries with hashcat rejecting most attempts. Thank you in advance for any help with this problem.

first, no there is no way to circumvent the maximum character limit

second, given your input this task should or can be considered as impossible to crack

compare this to generating a wallet seed of 12-16 words from the english bip-39 list of "only" 2048 words, the avarage word length is 6.4, so even 16*6.4 is just 102.4 chars. "Cracking" this seed alone is considerd impossible.

There are way to many combinations, you try to add up up to 350 chars (how many words do you use?) next adding random special chars between these words, the keyspace will skyrocket (well in fact it is already so high, given as input, hashcat would tell you ETA: next big bang)
