For the sake of argument let's assume I run the following attack with hashcat
When running the above, the attack starts as expected
If I execute the same command but change my min and max parameters to something like
I then recieve an integer overflow.
I guess my question is this, is hashcat only checking for integer overflow of the minimum length? Instead of all possible lengths? Is this by design and if so why? Wouldn't I receive an error with the first attack once it hit's a length of 10 as well?
Code:
hashcat64 -w 3 --restore-file-path=my.restore -o recovered.txt -m 2500 -a 3 --increment --increment-min=8 --increment-max=50 myrouter.hccapx ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a
