Launching an attack NTLM

[inigma117]

The flag is actually --increment-max but it doesn't really have much use in the real world. In most all scenarios the maximum will simply be the length of your mask.

If you wanted to brute force ?a len10-15 then you'd use -i --increment-min 10 with a mask of ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a

Note that you cannot actually brute force this keyspace. On your laptop you'll likely be able to brute force at most 7 chars.

You're right. I just got the flags working that way and 7/8 was something like 4 hours and 10 is >10 years... Guess to really get to enojoy it I will have to play with some word lists and see how that attack method works. I am looking to crack my own password and I use non-standard password formatting based on the rules I have seen and I am having issues figuring out how to go about that! I am sure I will be asking more questions as my skill set improves! I hope my future questions will be less trivial
