hashcat Forum

Hello everyone,
i know where the wiki is https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack but I am struggling to get a custom charset to work with a mask file.
Below hcmask contains several masks. For example:
?l?1?d

I used:



none of which works. The wiki is not being clear where to put the comma and the [], so i tried basically every combination i could think of.
Could anybody provide me a simple usage example for pipeing the first custom charset to the maskfile?
Thank you.

as the two guides from https://hashcat.net/wiki/?id=mask_attack...mask_files and https://hashcat.net/faq#what_is_a_hashcat_mask_file already emphasize, you must specify all the hcchr and custom charset directly within the mask file (.hcmask)
