so I'm attempting a combo attack with hashcat, trying to generate candidates like 1stword2ndword123. here is my command line:
hashcat -m 2500 -a 1 -r bf.rule /home/me/hccap/some.hccap /home/me/wordlists/allwords.txt
bf.rule created with maskprocessor to append 3 digits: ./mp.bin -o bf.rule '$?d?d?d'
the last four words in my test wordlist are:
abuse
abused
acacia
accept
--stdout shows this works pretty well, but it's skipping the last few candidates, and I can't figure out why:
abandonabused996
abandonabused997
abandonabused998
abandonabuse999
abandonacacia996
abandonacacia997
abandonabused998
abandonabuse999
abandonaccept996
abandonacacia997
abandonabused998
abandonabuse999
it skipped
abandonabused999
abandonacacia998,999
abandonacept997,998,999
and duplicated some others, like abandonabuse999
what, if anything, am I doing wrong here that would produce this behavior.....I am truly stumped, and any help MOST appreciated!
