I need to crack an sha256 hash

I know that the encrypted string follows this pattern

#-XXXXXXXXXX

#= A number generated between 1 and 25
X= Character generated from one of the below

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890

So it could be something like this:

20-2lje2ezTvu

or

2-wa4tnSoYWB

I wrote a code for this in java but that uses CPU and is super slow.
Assuming I use hashcat-gui and oclHashcat-lite what exactly do I put in.
Anyone interested in the java code: https://pastebin.com/fqddhKjJ

Thanks for the help everyone!

what you want to do is a mask attack.

As helpful as that was I still don't get how I generate a random number between 1-25. Because it can't be 01,02,03,...,23,24,25. It has to be 1,2,3,...,23,24,25.

break it up and use a different mask for each pass. nothing says you have to do it all at once...

-1 ?l?u?d ?d-?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
-1 ?l?u?d 1?d-?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
-1 ?l?u?d -2 12345 2?2-?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

... pro tip: with oclHashcat-plus and a .hcmask file you could do it all at once (one run of oclHashcat-plus only ).

Thanks, I made a .bat with these parameters:


How do I enable all 3 masks? I'm sorry I'm very new with this.

Code:

$ cat my.hcmask
?l?u?d,?d-?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
?l?u?d,1?d-?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
?l?u?d,12345,2?2-?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

Sorry but how exactly do I do this>

You can use any text editor you want to create a file called my.hcmask (or whatever you want to call it), put the content I just showed you:
in the file and use it in your command line as such:

Also please remove the hash you just posted ASAP (see: https://hashcat.net/forum/announcement-2.html , edit the post and e.g replace the hash with this one: XXXXb97304ab69679f4XXXX7fa80608cXX5cbec61cb2XXX916d3cXXXa4eabXXX )

it wouldn't be worth using plus just for hcmask support due to the performance hit.

Is the plan to add support for hcmask files in lite at some point?
