Change the apply order of rules?

[n1h2]

Is there a way to change the way rules are applied to the words? For example, assume I have the following files:

Code:

$ cat words
a
b
c
$ cat rules
$1
$2
$3

Gives me the candidates:

Code:

$ hashcat --stdout hash -r rules words
a1
a2
a3
b1
b2
b3
c1
c2
c3

Is there a way to change the logic so that the words would be applied to the rules, and not the way it is now? This is what I want:

Code:

a1
b1
c1
a2
b2
c2
a3
b3
c3

Or do I have to apply the rules individually, rerunning hashcat each time?

That's not possible, because of the stdin feature. We can not rewind stdin to restart with rule 2.
