Terminal: Hashcat charset - no matches found

Question

I'm trying to run hashcat to crack a zip file using the brute force method and I want to specify the character set using the below code in Mac M1 terminal: (where hcat.txt contains the hash of the zip file)

hashcat -a 3 -m 17225 --force hcat.txt ?l?l?l?l?l?l

But I got the below error.

zsh: no matches found: ?l?l?l?l?l?l

Answer 1

Simply enclose the pattern in single quotes, such as '?l?l?l?l?l'

This is because zsh is attempting to interpret '?' as a glob expansion parameter, which means any single character such as '.' in regex.
