Mask attack question

[xabbix]

You can put masks in a file:

alpha?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d
beta?d?d?d?d
gamma?d?d?d?d?d?d?d

... and then use the filename in your command:

./hashcat -m 11300 -w 4 -a 3 hash masks.txt

You can also use -i (increment) with masks, but the incrementing may happen in a way that you're not expecting - give it a try.

Thanks! That helps.

How does the increment work? What do you mean it may work in a way that I do not expect?
