Prepend, append, and prepend+append words from one list to words from another list

[COOLak]

Hi guys. The question is in the title.

I want to recover my own password that I stupidly forgot. I've made a list of possible words, and also I've made a list of words/combinations of symbols that I would like to try to prepend, append, and prepend+append to each word from the list.

So let's say this is one word from my first word list:

Code:

tree

And this is my additional word list:

Code:

* ** ! !* *! **! !**

The result must look like this:

Code:

*tree tree* *tree* **tree tree** **tree** !tree tree! !tree! !*tree tree!* !*tree!* *!tree tree*! *!tree*! **!tree **!tree **!tree**! !**tree tree!** !**tree!**

etc.

How do I achieve this? I also have HashCat GUI by BlandyUK v. 1.3 (2021), but I haven't been able to find any obvious way to do so. But I'm willing to use just the CLI if I must. Please help.

I've already seen this page. I don't see any instruction on how to mutually append, prepend, and append+prepend words from two files to one another.

Consider using PRINCE (https://github.com/hashcat/princeprocessor)
Put all the different word-parts in one file and PRINCE will make all the possible combinations for you. Pipe this output to Hashcat.

Put appends in for example append.rule, prepends in prepend.rule and then use

Code:

-r append.rule -r prepend.rule

And throw a : rule in each file as well...

I don't understand. How do I make it know which rule file is for prepending and which one is for appending?
