best options for fixed length password on pdf/7zip
#1
Hi all

I am trying to find the fastest options to pass hashcat for a 7zip and pdf file that

1. for pdf has 13 fixed numeric numbers only eg. of password = 4504466954093
2. 7zip / zip has only lower case alphanumeric + . (a dot) eg of password = www.true or www.true.net)

For 7zip I am currently using command line:  hashcat.exe -a 3 -1 ?l?d. -O -m 11600 zipfile.txt ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
but it's fairly slow even when using my 7900XTX... just checking if there's params to make it faster?

cheers

You can create rules for your dictionary. And apply them when searching.
^.^w^w^w
^. ^w ^w ^w $. $n $e $t
Put these rules in the pdf.rule file
And then run a dictionary search using these rules. The command line looks something like this
hashcat.exe -a 0 -O  -m 11600 zipfile.txt dic.txt -r  pdf.rule
