🧚 examples 🧚

the straight-up, no-changes pipeline:

hcxwltool -i wordlist --straight | sort | uniq | hashcat -m 22000 hashfile.hc22000

digits only, and we're locking the length to 10:

hcxwltool -i wordlist --digit --length=10 | sort | uniq | hashcat -m 22000 hashfile.hc22000

digits only, length left alone:

hcxwltool -i wordlist --digit | sort | uniq | hashcat -m 22000 hashfile.hc22000

and the john version, because we contain multitudes:

hcxwltool -i wordlist --xdigit | sort | uniq | john --stdin --format=wpapsk-opencl john.hashfile

piping into sort | uniq before the cracker? that's the move. dedupe first, crack second, that's just good manners and honestly it ate πŸ”₯
