hashcat Forum

Hi
I've start rule-based attack to WPA using dictionary filled with only 6-chars words (000000-999999).
Rule file consists only in 'd' and 'f' functions so I expect processing 12-chars words only.
But I got 100% rejects, so it seems rules was not applied at all:

Any ideas ?

Words are always rejected before applying rules. Since no word satisfies the minimum requirement of 8 chars they are all rejected.

You can work this around by appending two characters to each input word and remove them with the ]] rule.

Thanks!
