[sort of] Known password - which method?
#1
Hey all-
   I'm trying to solve a passphrase used on a Mac running Mavericks (10.9, so it's SALTED-SHA512-PBKDF2.)  I already know the two words used, but it's possible that numbers/symbols are inserted where the vowels are. For example, the two words used are "bear" and "hater." (If you've seen the Colbert Report, you'll understand! Wink
However, it could be "b3@rhater," "BeArh@t3R," "bearHater" etc. etc. 

Assuming only the vowels "e" and "a" are replaced by symbols and some letters may or may not be capitalized... how do I even begin?

Rules or tables.
#3
I haven't checked the latest hashcat version, but there used to be atleast 2 .rule files for leetspeak.
Also, https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-479.html , but I'm not sure if this is still up-to-date.
