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.
