issue with Mask Attack Starting with special characters
#1
Hi everyone, I am trying to mask attack with known first few letters of a password followed by a mask,but when i'm adding it to the command line windows,it says 

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I am not sure,what character has to be escaped and if it has to be escaped then for which character?

My password is : [3[3@[>s->A and lets assume i'm trying to crack last character A.

my command is : hashcat -a 3 -m 13723 "C:\Users\ABC\Downloads\dd\hashcat-6.2.2\hashh" [3[3@[>s->?a

Please help me out ,i have checked the mask attack faq but it doesnt quite seem to tell this case.
Thanks in advance

You can store [3[3@[>s->?a into a textfile like mask.txt and then use mask.txt instead of [3[3@[>s->?a in the command line.
