Adding an x to the end of the line of a file.

[Alcanjp]

Hello,

  This is a follow up of the topic posted
https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-10286-p...l#pid53395


  Although I was able to get comprehensive help but I need a different approach. 

I ran this line "hashcat -m 14600 -a 3 -w 3 -1 Xx LUKS_Partition.001 ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?1" and I don't have 4600 Years so my next possibility is:
I generated a list of 10.000.000 of 9 Characters Small caps and I need the letter x added to the list.
Notepad ++ crashes
by in Python I have this but it does not write to the file, reads it...

file = open('lines.txt', 'r')
lines = file.readlines()
lines = [line.replace("\n", "") +'x' for line in lines]


And I am looking to get may be,  the Nvidia RTX 3090 GPU to provide me a better chance. 

Appreciate the help.

TLDR; Create your own rule file with the two lines
$x
$X

and specify it in your command with the -r Parameter.

I previously asked where that file needed to be located".rule" and got no answer and therefor I thought it was not necessary.

You could place it inside the folder that is named rules in hashcat, which comes shipped with some known rules.

Now it's working
hashcat -m 14600 -a 0 -w 3 -r example.rule  pass.txt -o test_output.txt --stdout

your attack speed will be still the same, maybe some litte boosts from rules amplifier, but still slow due to the high iterations in luks

so it doesnt matter using bruteforce or a bruteforce like generated list for this attack

Yes I am basically fu**ed all my data is inaccessible.  But can this change if there are better GPU's ?  
What are the options if any?

well just keep it running and hope for a lucky punch, when using bruteforce by hashcat generator it will shuffle the candidates anyway, not quite sure whether this also happens when feeding hashcat with a passwordlist, maybe someone of the devs can answer this

Luck and time are the factors, but my GPU @ 75h per sec...  plus it's a laptop.  

Also is it possible to run hashcat on the Hash Header of 2mb that I extracted instead of the partition image that I created?  

And I asked this site onlinehashcrack that supposedly have 20 rtx 3090 and they quoted 7000 days to Crack a 10 low cap characters.  I am not sure if that is correct.

One positive aspect is that I am learning alot on this subject  if I would known all this I would not have been locked out of my disk.
