Noob: Efficient way to "combine" masks and rules

[nixomarkol]

Looking for an *efficient* way to arrive at a combination of masks and rules.
For example, by using only the dictionary word "please", I want to arrive at both "Please0000" and "plea$e9999".

The mask ?d?d?d?d would produce "please1234", but can't capitalize the first letter or change the "S" to "$".  The rule "sS$" would replace "S" with "$", but wouldn't append the four digits combination (0000..9999) at the end of the word.

Does this mean that I need to first produce a dictionary file with please00..please99 (using maskprocessor?) and then apply a set of rules to it?

thanks in advance.

Combine rules.

You can do:

rule1.rule:

sS$

rule2.rule:

$0 $0 $0 $0
...
$9 $9 $9 $9

And then run hashcat with -r rule1.rule -r rule2.rule

You can use --stdout to verify
