Hashcat settings - explanation
#6
Really, there is no good answer to that question. Brute-force would eventually (read: sometimes long beyond the end of our solar system or the universe) find your password. A good best-effort solution is wordlist+rules. Deciding on the best wordlist(s) and rule sets (or similar more advanced attacks) for a certain target hash is basically the art of hash cracking (or maybe the science of hash cracking?).

Except for some very special cases or when you have sufficient knowledge about the target password there is no guaranteed way to crack a hash.
