Forward / Reverse / Random Order Generation / Every Nth

[sigkill]

For mask sets that are ludicrously huge, it would be awesome if the maskprocessor could support different types of output ordering. I've got a case where the data is multi PB in size, and having the ability to reverse output could help in breaking up the key-space across different hosts.

That is what --skip and --limit are for. Any apparent benefit from trying to sample from a randomly distributed attack is illusory.

Where are the --skip and --limit options found?

Reverse and forward order would be helpful in a distributed environment, but you are correct about the random order, which is not what I was requesting for in this particular case, just wanted to know if it could be supported, along with the forward and reverse generation.

Perhaps if I reverse the order of my custom charset?

The --markov-inverse option will start from the other end. 😄

The --markov-inverse option will start from the other end. 😄

AH so that is for general hashcat, but not strictly for the mask processor standalone. I'll go check it out!

[roycewilliams]

Indeed - I forget it's not in mp64. In fact, I'll request that as a feature (#31)

Thank you. Seems like some awesome stuff I wasn't previously aware of, started researching it and went off on a tangent! Had no idea about statsprocessor too. Cool thank you!
