mask search with doubles

[serj377]

Hello everyone!
You need to find the password in hashcat. Password type-abcd12abcd12 - character sets 2 or 3 times repeated. Is it possible to set a mask with repeated character sets to reduce the number of password candidates?

It's not possible with masks only. You can pipe in a mask attack and then apply the repeat rule "p" to each input word. However, depending on your hash type, this may severely slow down your attack speed.
