Command form - sets of the password

[michalm78]

Hello everyone and welcome!

I'm trying to open an encrypted zip file that I created many years ago.

To specify the character sets of the password in command form, how it will look like for the below characters:

1. All small letters - abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
2. the First character can be small OR large - abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
3. All numbers - 0123456789
4. and a couple of special characters - !#$%&*,.:;?@

Now, I'm cracking using the default settings: hashcat -a 3 -m 17225... its already 3rd day, and is doing 10 characters passwords...

Thank you for help...

Mike

Hello,

I was trying to get the correct command but got some errors. Finally, I have the working one. Can you please confirm that this command is correct?

hashcat -a 3 -m 17225 hashtestpriv.txt -1 ?u?l -2=characters.hcchr ?1?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2 -i

where the hcchr file is:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!#$%&*,.:;?@

Thank you
