Excel crack with possible passwords
#5
Sounds to me like it could be useful to check for typos.
Start with running some toggles rules toggles1.rule, toggles2.rule etc.
Then try making some own typo rules. For example, if someone would want to write Coconut, they sometimes would write cOCONUT (shift on, use rule "C "), you could also check for swapped adjacent letters (Swap @ p), etc.
Sometimes people duplicate their suffix (69? 69?) or add it as prefix as well for extra security (69?COCONUT69?), or duplicate the password entirely COCONUT69?COCONUT69? .
If you have not yet, I would try out these options. All of these an much more can be achieved using rules, see description below

See rules description https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=rule_based_attack

On more thing, rockyou includes prefixes and suffixes from users. Perhaps try removing prefixes and suffixes by dropping all digits and special character, sorting and filtering on uniq. Then use that list in combination with you suffix and perhaps with additional toggle rules. Good chance you hit the password with that.
Good luck.
