Hybrid Mask + Dict in HC-Plus v0.09b

[Hash-IT]

Left mask + dict usually takes way longer than dict + mask. Not strange, at least to my use.

Thanks proinside, I don't understand why what I have quoted above would be the case. Surly there will be the same number of passwords to check regardless of which end you are attaching numbers to ?

Anyway, your suggestion for me to change the mask has revealed the problem !!

OK

If I choose dict - mask with ?d?d it runs for a few seconds.
If I choose mask - dict with ?d?d it runs for 4 minutes.

However ....

If I choose dict - mask with ?d?d?d?d it runs for 12 minutes.
If I choose mask - dict with ?d?d?d?d it runs for 12 minutes.

How strange is that ?

The first batch the dict - mask runs considerably quicker than mask - dict even with the same mask.

The second batch is exactly what I would expect to happen both take roughly the same time.

Thanks for your interest in this proinside.

Does this help atom ?
