Theory: Each hashcat mask has a measurable level of effectiveness. If we can index these values, we can sort them in order to hit the most effective ones first, thus maximizing results for any given amount of CPU cycles spent dehashing.
1. A 1,000,000 real human plaintext combo dump (comcast) was used to generate a 1:1 set
of hashcat masks using the charsets:
Consonants/Vowels: [ -1 bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz -2 aeiou -3 BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ -4 AEIOU ]
Digits: ?d
2. Frequency of masks within the dump was indexed
3. Number of possible permutations was calculated for each masks
3. Hit ratio was calculated for each mask by dividing permutations by account hits
4. Masks were sorted by hit ratio with the most efficient being at the top
5. .hmasks file was generated using the sorted result set. Ex:
bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz,aeiou,BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ,AEIOU,?d?d?d?d
bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz,aeiou,BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ,AEIOU,?1?2?1?2
bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz,aeiou,BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ,AEIOU,?1?2?2?1
bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz,aeiou,BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ,AEIOU,?1?1?2?2
