how the limit the number of guesses when cracking the password

[luluzhao]

I am using the Hashcat to crack the password for research. Now I have a problem about limit the number of guesses when doing the trial. I want to see how many passwords can be cracked when I limit the number of guesses to 10^15. Could I possible find a command to do this? Thank you.

You can, but it's a bad idea. Not all attacks can automate the process of having the more likely succeeding guesses at the start. However, what you're looking for is the -l parameter
