Most Efficient KeePass Path of Mix Dictionary and characters
#1
Irony: Forgetting your password management password.
I know my password is over 7 characters but most likely less than 30.
It may have some dictionary words, but certainly numbers and special characters..
I downloaded a 15gig dictionary file already.
I'm running dual GeForce 1080 Turbo OC cards with SLI Bridge.
What would be my most efficient parameters?

I tried a few things and I think just dictionary option is 21 hours.. hoping that works.
When I did straight brute force, it ranged from 99 days to 11 years.. oddly 99 days if I start at 7, but if I start at 8 it's 11 years.. 

This is my first rodeo doing this, so I appreciate the help very much. They don't teach this in CISSP, CCIE, etc. LOL

thanks

Not much to optimize here; you're the person best positioned to guess what your own password was. SLI is irrelevant (and even contraindicated; I'd remove it and let hashcat manage the GPUs directly). The '-O' and '-w4' options might help speed things up, depending on algorithm. Other than that, it's all about you.
