hashcat to create permutation dictionary

scenario:

say we have file called pwlist.txt

this files contains 12 months name as password. 

so we can run a for loop so that we can increase the passwords a bit. 

for i in $(cat pwlist.txt); do echo $i; echo ${i}2019; echo ${i}2020; done > t

August 

August2019

August2020

now you can ask why we are saving this in a file called t? because if you saved it on pwlist.txt file again then you would have just killed the file. 

 

hashcat --force --stdout pwlist.txt -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/best64.rule

--force we are not going to use GPU.

stdout the output will be shown directly on the shell.

we can also chain wordlists. 

hashcat --force --stdout pwlist.txt -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/best64.rule -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/toggles1.rule | sort -u 

whenever you use toggles rule then you must have duplicates. so sort command can help. 

if you want to see words that are greater than 8 then,

hashcat --force --stdout pwlist.txt -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/best64.rule -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/toggles1.rule | sort -u | awk 'length($0) >8 '
