Post: RE: No keyspace for the distributed hashcat v3.00

If you don't know the password length and want to use mask attack, you can just use mask with different lengths. e.g. 4 to 7: Code: -- -a 3 ?a?a?a?a -a 3 ?a?a?a?a?a -a 3 ?a?a?a?a?a?a -a 3 ?a?a?...

Post: RE: Help with partial known simple OS X password

I didn't say you shoud use "- o" (minus space lower-case o), but "-o file". That's a huge difference. Furthermore, this "-1 xyz?d?d?d?d" is totally wrong. What should this do in your opinion? --cust...
