So my mask is ?1?2?2?2?2?2?2?3?3?3 for a password of length 10.
Since I'm using the lite version, I'm assuming it's equivalent to -a 3 of the plus version? In that case, why are the only first 4 chars are relevant? What mask do I need to get close to 90% for example?
The other thing I found interesting is that when I swapped the processor & motherboard to amd fx8150, the utilization dropped from 85% (with intel processor) to 81% on both cards. Both motherboards use PCIE2.0 16x and I didn't change the command line for hashcat after I swapped the processor + mobo.
Quote:- if you use -a 3 or -a 7, make sure your left mask keyspace > 500k entries (per gpu). for -a 3, this is the keyspace of the first 4 chars of your mask.
