How to put multiple charsets at one position in hashcat?

Question

I want to search for all letters and some special characters at the same time

?ludhHs?ludhHs?ludhHs?ludhHs?ludhHs?ludhHs?ludhHs?ludhHs?lludhHs

Something like this for a 9 Letter password with all characters. Does this work?

Answer 1

It sounds like you want to use the built-in charset ?a, which is a shortcut for ?l?u?d?s.

Try out this command: hashcat -a 3 -m 0 your.hash ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a

Don't forget to swap out the mode and hash file for whatever you are cracking.

If you really were trying to use a custom charset with ?l and the characters udhHs, that's mostly redundant since ?l is already all the lowercase letters, but here's an example for that custom charset:

hashcat -a 3 -1 ?ludhHs -m 0 your.hash ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
