- Perform a brute-force attack (mode 3) with the default hashcat mask:
`hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 3 {{hash_value}}`
- Perform a brute-force attack (mode 3) with a known pattern of 4 digits:
`hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 3 {{hash_value}} "{{?d?d?d?d}}"`
- Perform a brute-force attack (mode 3) using at most 8 of all printable ASCII characters:
`hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 3 --increment {{hash_value}} "{{?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a}}"`
- Perform a dictionary attack (mode 0) using a wordlist:
`hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 0 {{hash_value}} {{path/to/wordlist.txt}}`
- Run a dictionary attack (mode 0) using the specified wordlist, applying rule-based transformations to mutate candidate passwords:
`hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 0 {{[-r|--rules-file]}} {{path/to/file.rule}} {{hash_value}} {{path/to/wordlist.txt}}`
- Perform a combination attack (mode 1) using the concatenation of words from two different custom dictionaries:
`hashcat {{[-m|--hash-type]}} {{hash_type_id}} {{[-a|--attack-mode]}} 1 {{hash_value}} {{path/to/dictionary1.txt}} {{path/to/dictionary2.txt}}`
- Show result of an already cracked hash:
`hashcat --show {{hash_value}}`
- Show all example hashes:
`hashcat --example-hashes`
