Toggle-Case Attack

Description

For each word in a dictionary, all possible combinations of upper- and lower-case variants are generated.

In hashcat-legacy, this attack was implemented as a stand-alone attack mode. In hashcat there are two ways to do it.

With a table. The Table attack (-a 5) ships a case table, and this is the closest thing to the old stand-alone mode:

$ hashcat -m 0 -a 5 hash.txt words.txt tables/toggle.table

tables/toggle.table covers 618 characters in both directions, including Greek and Cyrillic, and each letter is decided separately.

With rules. The other way is a ruleset, described in Using rules to emulate toggle attack.
