## 🕵️‍♂️ Check GPUs

- `hashcat -I` 🖥️

**Note**: Check available GPUs on the system.

## 🗝️ Hash Types

- `hashcat -m 0` 🔐  

**Note**: MD5.

- `hashcat -m 1000` 🔑

**Note**: NTLM.

- `hashcat -m 2500` 🔓

**Note**: WPA/WPA2.

- `hashcat -m 22000` 🔓

**Note**: WPA-PMKID-PBKDF2.

## ⚔️ Attack Modes

- `hashcat -a 0` 🗡️

**Note**: Straight attack.  

- `hashcat -a 3` 🛡️

**Note**: Brute-force attack.

## 🪄 Wordlists

- `hashcat -w 4` 📘

**Note**: Set workload profile.

## 🔨 Incremental Mode

- `-increment` ♾️

**Note**: Enable incremental mode.  

- `-increment-min 8`

**Note**: Set minimum password length.

- `-increment-max 12` 

**Note**: Set maximum password length.

## 🎯 Custom Charsets

- `?d?l?u` 🎲

**Note**: Digits, lowercase, uppercase letters.

- `?s` ❇️

**Note**: Special characters.

- `?a` 🎯

**Note**: All characters (lowercase, uppercase, digits, special).

## 💡 Examples 

### 🚀 Brute force WPA2 PMKID hash:

```bash
hashcat -m 22000 -a 3 hash.hc22000 ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d 
```

- `m 22000`: WPA-PMKID-PBKDF2 hash.
- `a 3`: Brute-force attack. 
- `?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d`: 8-digit brute-force mask.

### ⚡ Incremental attack on WPA2 hash:

```bash
hashcat -m 22000 hash.hc22000 --increment --increment-min 8 --increment-max 12 ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d
```

- `-increment`: Incremental mode.
- `-increment-min 8`: Min length 8.
- `-increment-max 12`: Max length 12.  
- `?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d`: 8-12 digit incremental mask.
