Thanks Atom. I'll give that a shot. I've been using the huge rockyou.txt file...but I'm just not cracking as many passwords using it. That's why I was wondering the most popular rules to use.
What if you have one hash you need to crack? Do you try all the other methods first or do you just go straight to brute forcing?
