## Hashcat Rules

```bash
# Location
/usr/share/hashcat/rules/

# Best overall (start here)
/usr/share/hashcat/rules/best64.rule                   # 64 fast rules
/usr/share/hashcat/rules/d3ad0ne.rule                  # 34k rules
/usr/share/hashcat/rules/rockyou-30000.rule            # rockyou-derived
/usr/share/hashcat/rules/dive.rule                     # Deep coverage

# Combination rules
/usr/share/hashcat/rules/combinator.rule               # Word combination
/usr/share/hashcat/rules/leetspeak.rule                # Leet speak transforms

# Community rules (download separately)
# OneRuleToRuleThemAll: https://github.com/NotSoSecure/password_cracking_rules
# /opt/OneRuleToRuleThemAll.rule                       # 52k rules (BEST community)

# Multiple rules (combine effects)
hashcat -m 1000 hashes.txt wordlist.txt \
  -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/best64.rule \
  -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/d3ad0ne.rule

# Generate rule from known password pattern
python3 -c "
# Pattern: Capitalize first, add year + special
# Word: password → Password2024!
print('c')       # capitalize
print('$2$0$2$4') # append 2024
print('$!')      # append !
" > custom.rule
```

## Mask Attack Patterns (hashcat -a 3)

```bash
# Charsets:
# ?l = lowercase a-z
# ?u = uppercase A-Z
# ?d = digit 0-9
# ?s = special chars
# ?a = all printable
# ?b = all 0x00-0xff

# Corporate password patterns (8-12 chars)
?u?l?l?l?l?l?d?d                 # Passw01 style (8 chars)
?u?l?l?l?l?l?l?d?d               # Password01 style (9 chars)
?u?l?l?l?l?d?d?d?d               # Pass0000 style (9 chars)
?u?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?d?d?d?d         # Password0000 (12 chars)
?u?l?l?l?l?l?l?d?d?s             # Password1! (10 chars)

# PINs and numeric
?d?d?d?d                          # 4-digit PIN
?d?d?d?d?d?d                      # 6-digit PIN

# Custom charset example (lowercase + digits)
hashcat -m 0 hashes.txt -a 3 -1 ?l?d '?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1'
```

## CeWL — Custom Wordlist Generation

```bash
# Basic spider (3 depth, 5 min word length)
cewl $URL -d 3 -m 5 -o evidence/custom_wordlist.txt

# Include lowercase variant
cewl $URL -d 3 -m 5 --lowercase -o evidence/wordlist_lower.txt

# Include email addresses found on site
cewl $URL -d 3 -m 5 -e --email_file evidence/emails.txt -o evidence/wordlist.txt

# With HTTP auth
cewl $URL -d 3 -m 5 -a --auth_type basic --auth_user $USER --auth_pass $PASS -o evidence/wordlist.txt

# Combine CeWL output with rules
hashcat -m 1000 hashes.txt evidence/custom_wordlist.txt \
  -r /usr/share/hashcat/rules/best64.rule
```

## Corporate Password Generator (Python)

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Generate corporate password pattern wordlist from company info."""
import itertools, sys

company = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else "Company"
year_range = range(2020, 2026)
specials = ['!', '@', '#', '$', '1']

base_words = [
    company, company.lower(), company.upper(),
    company.capitalize(),
    f"{company}Corp", f"{company}Inc",
]

patterns = []
for word in base_words:
    for year in year_range:
        patterns.append(f"{word}{year}")
        for s in specials:
            patterns.append(f"{word}{year}{s}")
            patterns.append(f"{word}{s}{year}")
    for s in specials:
        patterns.append(f"{word}{s}")
        patterns.append(f"{word}{s}1")
        patterns.append(f"{word}1{s}")

for p in set(patterns):
    print(p)
```

## Permutation Generation

```bash
# Create permutations of company terms
python3 /usr/share/seclists/Passwords/permutations.py terms.txt > permuted.txt

# CeWL + permutation
cewl $URL -m 4 -d 2 --lowercase -o base.txt
python3 -c "
with open('base.txt') as f:
    words = [w.strip() for w in f if w.strip()]
for w1 in words:
    for w2 in words:
        if w1 != w2:
            print(f'{w1}{w2}')
            print(f'{w1}_{w2}')
            print(f'{w1}.{w2}')
" > permuted.txt
```
