WPA2 Half-Handshake

[ZerBea]

This is my first post, if I'm posting from the wrong place, to the administrators, move to the correct location and accept my apologies.

My native language is not English, sorry for any mistake.

I want to do a crash test using hascat, after some unsuccessful tests, I've been researching something to fix some doubts.

doubt:

Scenario:

1. The handcheck was captured;
2. Made the file conversion;
3. In this environment, the password Ass8162117 was used;
4. The hybrid mask + dict method was chosen;
5. Mascara used:? U? L? L
6. Numerical Dictionary 6/6;

In this context, where is the error?

That what you like to do is called a hybrid attack (a: dictionary and mask or b: mask an dictionary).

case a:
the correct simplified syntax is hashcat -m 2500 hashfile.hccapx -a 6 example.dict ?d?d
where example dict contains  the first part of the password >= 8 characters
Ass81621

case b:
the correct simplified syntax is hashcat -m 2500 hashfile.hccapx -a 7 ?U?l example.dict
where example dict contains the last part of the password >= 8 characters
s8162117
