Need help working with masks

[uennotec]

Hello,

I want to crack a filevault2 hash from which I know that it starts with a word followed bye a 1-8 digit number.

So letz say the password starts with the word "test" followed bye a 4-digit number, then I use the following code:

Code:

hashcat64.exe -m 16700 hash.hash -a 3 test$d$d$d$d

But I think this is not working as I (for test purposes) used following code:

Code:

hashcat64.exe -m 16700 hash.hash -a 3 test$d$d$d$d$d$d$d$d$d$d$d$d$d$d$d$d

And Hashcat showed me "exhausted" after few seconds of work. I thought, that this command means, that all combinations of the word+16 digits after that will be tried, but I see that only 1 password is tried, so I think I have not understand how to work with masks.

Could anyone show me what I'm doing wrong?

Also can someone explain me how I start a combination-attack so that I create a small wordlist containing the possible words, followed bye the numbers? If there is a possiblity to tell hashcat, that the words in the list should also tried in uppercase letters, that would be helpful. Otherwise I will copy those in the .txt-file also.

Here are some stats of my system:

-Windows 10 (1803), 64-bit
-Hashcat 5.1.0
-NVIDIA RTX 2080, driver 417.35


Any help is highly appreciated
