Feature request: rules support

[FFAMax]

Hi Team. What do you think about rules support?
I found significant benefit of using rules instead of dictionaries in cases of 8-9 symbols numbers.

• This approach reduce overhead and allow to utilize GPU more efficiency (20-30%).
• Less time on sync with a server (especially if server is busy). Just take 1 task and work on it the next hour(s).
• Allow to reduce CPU utilization (in case of using slow or limited CPU).

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Using rules is currently possible through co option, like this:
./help_crack.py -co="-r rules/best64.rule"

[FFAMax]

Could you please correct me if I'm wrong.
Seems like anyway [-ad ADDITIONAL | -cd CUSTOM] is required.
Therefore no options to verify uncracked handshakes with rule only.
Example: help_crack.py --coptions='-D 1 -a 3 ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d'
No hashes loaded.

Also I feel to clarify the goal.
The ideal case is to have list of uncracked hashes loaded to GPU with a simple rule (-a 3 ) applied [or advanced rules with -r <rules.file>]
This allow to efficiency continue work inside on GPU without interruptions on hash update or dict loadings (from server or toward GPU - both are decreasing efficiency as well as hashcat restart).

1. Download hashes
2. Init hashcat only once (hashes + rule | hashes + dict)
3. Submit once complete

How about submitting it to RealEnder's site (wpa-sec.stanev.org) instead of hijacking the issue tracker?

i have 8192fu everest 689n wifi usb receiver. but it keeps disconnecting. university wireless no problem do you have any adapter suggestions for example tplink wn 7200nd or archer t4u 1300

This is more of hcxdumptool question. Most likely these adapters will work, depending on drivers used/kernel versions.
Just try them with latest hcxdumptool and submit any issues in its github tracker. More info on adapters here: https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool#adapters
