I am trying to figure out if this is possible - can I have a mask appended AND prepended to all entries in a wordlist?

Here's what I mean -

?a?a(wordlistgoeshere)?a?a

I know I can prepend and append with various rules, but I cant find a way to do them at the same time. Am I missing something in the wiki?

With masks? No. With rules? Yes.

Simply generate a rule file that does all your appends/prepends.

Got it, thanks!
