Full Version: Repeat Characters

Hi all,
is there any way in a brute force attack or mask attack where I can specify the number of times a character is repeated consecutively so I can avoid it trying all of the:
aaaaaaaa
aaaaaaab
aaaaaaac
aaaaaaad...
etc...
Many thanks Smile
like this aaaaaa?l

read the wiki on mask attacks
coolbry95, I meant I wanted to avoid it trying more than 2 or 3 consecutive characters not for it to try all consecutive characters. Also that password analysis only really does anything for already generated wordlists. I'm looking for a way to brute force with my gpu using either a mask or whatever to avoid more than say 2 or 3 sequential characters.
look again at PACK.

For this you can use maskproccesor to feed oclhashcat:
