I'd agree, but unfortunately we would be incompatible with hashcat's
masks then. BTW, I thought that InsidePro and hashcat used mostly the
same mask mode characters, with the same meaning, but this appears not
to be the case:
http://www.insidepro.com/eng/saminside.shtml
"The application uses the following masks:
? any printable character (ASCII-codes 32...255).
A any upper-case Latin character (A...Z).
a any lower-case small Latin (a...z).
S any special character (!@....).
N any number (0...9).
1...8 any character from a custom character set; you may define
up to 8 custom sets."
Weird stuff. More links to info on InsidePro and hashcat masks:
