Crunch - Creating More Advanced Wordlists
We can use multiple character sets when creating words in crunch. Humans are creatures of habit and patterns, so you will find patterns when you crack passwords. You can create a custom wordlist with crunch using any pattern.
Simply, list each character set that you want to use, then use the “@,%^” characters and create a mask, just like you would with Hashcat. The “@” symbol represents characters from the first character set. The “,” the second, “%” represents the third character set, etc. You then use the “-t” pattern switch to build your pattern.
