hashcat password length limit?

[atom]

A rule like "i7! $2 $3" on a 12 character word works, but fails on a 13 character word.

can not reproduce this:

Code:

root@thumbstone:~/dev/projects/hashcat/hashcat-0.38# cat > rule
i7! $2 $3
root@thumbstone:~/dev/projects/hashcat/hashcat-0.38# cat > word
0123456789abc
root@thumbstone:~/dev/projects/hashcat/hashcat-0.38# ./hashcat-cli64.bin --stdout -r rule word
0123456!789abc23

U apply that rule on a 12 bits word, insert character ! at the 7te position so that makes 13 bits, then add 23 at the end, so it hits 15 bits. Hascat does have a limit at 15bits.

That rule clearly fails on 13 bits word.

no, hashcat does not have this limit. its not bit. its byte. or char. 1 char = 1 byte = 8 bit.
