So the problem I think I'm having is that the minimum password length isn't being applied properly based on the Guess.Mask.
The first 34 Guess.Queue the password is too small and they get skipped.
"Guess.Queue 35" is good at 8 characters in length and starts being processed.
I've done "Guess.Queue 35" a few times so I bypass it and continue to "Guess.Queue 36" and Hashcat tries to guess the password with a length of 2... so I bypass and continue, and hashcat keeps trying to guess 2..3..4 character passwords when the Password length minimum: 8
Am I reading the output wrong? Shouldn't "Guess.Queue 36", "Guess.Queue 37", etc automatically skip like Hashcat did for the first 34 Guess.Queue?
