Task Creation Guidelines

General

Task generation is one of the most difficult parts of Hashtopolis and can make the difference between a smooth experience and a terrible one. This section will be the "best practices" that you should follow. The formatting used here is not a requirement but if you are having issues with a particular task try changing it to the format found here. Remember some OS's are case sensitive even if you don't have a Unix machine now you may in the future.

NEVER use client specific parameters in your tasks: --gpu-temp-disable``--gpu-temp-retain``--opencl-devices should be placed into client the client specific "Extra parameters" field. This can be configured in agents.php then click on agent name

Attack modes

Below is the correct format you should be using when entering tasks into Hashtopolis.

Straight

Example: -a0 #HL# Wordlist.txt

Straight + Rules

Example -a0 #HL# Wordlist.txt -r Rules.rule

You can stack rule files with hashcat -r Rules.rule -r Rules2.rule

Combination

Example: -a1 #HL# Wordlist.Left Wordlist.Right

Brute-force

Example: -a3 #HL# ?a?a?a?a?a?a

Example: -a3 #HL# -1 Custom.hcchar ?1?1?1?1?1?1

Custom character files can and should be specified especially when dealing with special characters in masks. Simply place the characters you wish to run into a txt document and place the file into your command like any other wordlist. Be sure you specify the custom mask option (-1,-2,-3,-4) before the hcchar file. This prevents nasty command line confusion with special/escape characters.

Hybrid

Example:-a6 #HL# Wordlist.txt ?a?a?a?a?a?a

Example:-a7 #HL# ?a?a?a?a?a?a Wordlist.txt

Example:-a7 #HL# -1 Custom.hcchar ?1?1?1?1 Wordlist.txt

Be mindful of the ordering of wordlist and mask. hashcat requires the ordering to match the mode you are running. Please see Brute-force section for Custom.hcchar explanation.
