hashcat windows version with customized dictionary and default rules

 First of all you need to make a custom dictionary based on the victim nature. for example, you somehow manage victims date of birth, what street did the victim grow up, favorite color, favorite tv show, city where she grew up, hobbies, first job, favorite vacation spot etc. 

now make the dictionary:

as favorite color is blue (assume) and dob is 1973 so word would be blue1973

city: Newyork1973

This is how the dictionary will make up. Name the word list as temp.txt 

In every answer date of birth will be included just like the above two example. We will also use a common rule (oneruletorule.rule) that will add ! _ special character as well. 

Also you need a hash of victim. You should get that probably mysql leaked database, or /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file. 

So we are assuming that you got the hash which is md5crypt that starts with $1$ and hashcat mode of this hash is 500

D:\Apps\hashcat-6.1.1>hashcat.exe -m 500 -O hashes\hashes.txt -r rules\oneruletorule.rule wordlists\temp.txt 

This is how password is cracked using hashcat manual dictionary.
