Character Set question
#1
Hi.  I'm pretty new to Hashcat so apologies if this is a stupid question.
[*]I've got a long, complex password I want to crack but I know it doesn't include all of the characters from the built-in charsets.
[*]For example...  I need all of ?l and ?u but only the number 1 and only a % symbol.  I've been using ?a but figured I can reduce the combinations needed by a few billion if I can drop unnecessary characters...


[*]
  • ?l = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
  • ?u = ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
  • ?d = 0123456789
  • ?s = «space»!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~

[*]Is there an easy way to create a reduced charset including only those I need please?

Yes. In the command line,

-1 ?l?u1% ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

Or, in the mask file,

?l?u1%,?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
