Limit the consecutive occurrence of a given character.
I am playing with brute forcing and I am looking for a feature that hashcatplus doesn’t have and I wondered if any of you clever chaps know of a workaround I can use.
I am testing WPA so I am using .hccap files. I know the password is 8 upper case alpha characters. I know how to make a brute force attack and mask to do this but I thought of a way to optimise this approach.
Basically I am trying to think of a way to limit the amount of times a character can appear consecutively. Ideally I would like to be able to change the limit of instances for different tests. Perhaps a limit of 2 would mean that a single character can only be next to no more than one other exact same character. AABCDEFG would be tested but not AAACDEFG or AAAADEFG.
I would very much like this to be a feature of hashcatplus somehow but until I can convince atom this would be a good feature to implement can anyone give me some advice / help to achieve this now ?
Thank you.
