Can't workout why my mask isn't working.

[AutomaticCoding]

Using hashcat-GUI, first I may want to note it's sort of annoying that it doesn't exit CMD after it's done. Yes, I understand it doesn't using a bat file, etc, but it's annoying.

Next, reason why I posted in this forum is it's generating these arguments:

Code:

cudaHashcat-plus64.exe --attack-mode 3 --remove --outfile C:\Users\Nicholas\Desktop\file.txt.out --outfile-format 2 C:\Users\Nicholas\Desktop\file.txt ?uld?uld?uld?uld?uld?uld

What I presume each one does:
-attack-mode 3 == bruteforce
--remove == remove hashes from file.txt when found
--outfile C:\-snip-\file.txt.out == output file to dump found hashes to
--output-file format 2 == plain
C:\-snip-\file.txt == file full of hashes
?uld?uld?uld?uld?uld?uld - Mask

Now, what I want:
6 letters, [A-Z0-9a-z].

If I have something like "Hi" in the file, and I do:
?u?l
it works fine. But if I have "Hi" in the file and do:
?ul?ul
it does nothing.

My file.txt:

Code:

Correct hashes in order:

Code:

<?php
    echo(md5("Hi") . "\n");
    echo(md5("L0L") . "\n");
    echo(md5("LOL") . "\n");
    echo(md5("lol") . "\n");
    echo(md5("£$^£%") . "\n");
    echo(md5("Fjgld") . "\n");
    echo(md5("yrti") . "\n");
    echo(md5("sad") . "\n");
    echo(md5("fdgd") . "\n");
    echo(md5("48fH$") . "\n");
    echo(md5("Pizza") . "\n");
    echo(md5("Yo") . "\n");
?>

Yes, I realize none of them are six characters and they're all five, but, better safe than sorry. (It does go up 1-6, right? Not just only scan 6?)

you need to set them all in the one form, ie -1 ?l?u?d ?1?1?1?1?1?1
cudaHashcat-plus64.exe --attack-mode 3 --remove --outfile C:\Users\Nicholas\Desktop\file.txt.out --outfile-format 2 -1 ?u?l?d C:\Users\Nicholas\Desktop\file.txt ?1?1?1?1?1?1

in plus it only runs the length you input, so for the command above it will only run for length 6, it does increment automatically in lite

Hey presto! It works. But, in length I notice it doesn't allow bruteforcing? Only "Rules". I may look into that later, but at the moment I'll just do:

String args = "cudaHashcat-plus64.exe --attack-mode 3 --custom-charset1 ?l?u?d --outfile C:\Users\Nicholas\Desktop\file.txt.out --outfile-format 2 C:\Users\Nicholas\Desktop\file.txt ";
for(int i = 1; i < MAXCHARCTERS; i++) {
args += "?1";
}
startProcess(args);

Or something. Thanks dude

these ?1 are masks not rules. rules are something complete different.
