Cracking WPA Password with same time generating wordlist

[slyexe]

Make sure to use the latest version of hashcat as an initial step.

Code:

hashcat -m %mode% -i --increment-min 8 --increment-max 16 -a 3 -o output.txt %hash% ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a

WPA being a slower hashrate will not be feasible with such a large keyspace after 12 characters unless you have some serious hardware. Also note, you specify using symbols in your initial statement but do not include it within crunch. If you are not using symbols modify your mask by using a custom character set with -1 and limit to ?l?u?d.

Code:

hashcat -m %mode% -1 ?l?u?d -i --increment-min 8 --increment-max 16 -a 3 -o output.txt %hash% ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
