hashcat Forum

similar to --runtime=N where it quits the command, is there a way to bypass or skip down to the next line within the .hcmask file? my .hcmask file have several hunderd lines, so i only want to spend maybe 10mins per line.

organize your hcmask file by keyspace

actually i've done that, just curious if it was possible to skip

not presently. but you could get creative... use an hcmask file for various keyspace ranges, then run through each hcmask file in a loop, using a lower markov threshold as the keyspace increases.

good idea, thx!
