Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forum.

Mask attacks aren't the best ideas for this. You'd be better off using CombinatorX from hashcat utils instead (Only available on the Github) but either way, 5 words is going to be tough to crack. There are a lot of combinations

I'm playing around with the dictionary, trying to choose the best data set.

you can also use princeprocessor, its exactly what prince was made for

BE AWARE of the standard setting for maximum output lenght, as is only 16 letters total, so for 5 words you need to adjust this
