Run real hashcat command syntax against a fictional lab hash dump - dictionary and mask attacks, a persisted potfile via --show, and one password deliberately strong enough to survive both.
Ideal for: Security+ and pentesting trainees learning hashcat attack modes and hash-mode flags before running real cracking sessions.
What you'll practice
Run real hashcat syntax: -m for hash mode, -a for attack mode, dictionary and mask attacks
Watch which lab passwords crack instantly, which need a mask attack, and which resist both
Save your cracking session as a shareable practice report link
