Exploiting the human factor

[Pilsener]

Yeah, I noticed later that 11 days was just for the first one.  Bummer.
I aimed at human-chosen passwords, because many people tend to use passwords that they can remember the few times they need to enter them.
"Minimum 8 chars" is by many read as "exactly 8 chars".

I have obviously not studied masks well enough.
Can anyone suggest a mask that will accellerate (or optimize) the list I posted further up?

Yes - the one I first posted.

Study how custom character set works, and replace sequences like this:

?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l
?u?l?l?l?l?l?l?l
?d?l?l?l?l?l?l?l

... with:

-1 ?l?u?d ?1?l?l?l?l?l?l?l

... etc.
