Lukas is correct.

We have on-device mask mode support for (almost?) all fast hash types
for which we have OpenCL support at all. Further, such on-device mask
support can be used along with a host-provided stream of partial
candidate passwords to form a variety of hybrid modes. For example,
these are all valid:
Test 7-character any printable ASCII strings, with a reasonable number
of the mask positions being processed on device (JtR decides host to
optimally split the mask between host and device):
--mask='?a?a?a?a?a?a?a'
Ditto:
--mask='?a' --min-length=7 --max-length=7
Ditto, but for range of lengths 1 to 8:
--mask='?a' --min-length=1 --max-length=8
Can also use length ranges with more complex masks, where the last mask
component would be the one extended to higher lengths:
--mask='start?l?d' --min-length=7 --max-length=14
Use the host's incremental mode to test strings of digits in a smart
order, then append 3 more digits in a dumber order on device, no
specific length (so let incremental mode switch lengths back and forth
like it usually does):
--incremental=digits --mask='?w?d?d?d'
Ditto, but limit this to (total) length of 8 (adjusts incremental mode
to only produces length 5 for its portion):
--incremental=digits --mask='?w?d?d?d' --min-length=8 --max-length=8
Have the host generate all-lowercase substrings in a smart order, then
prepend an uppercase letter and append 3 digits, at least some of this
on device:
--incremental=lower --mask='?u?w?d?d?d'
Read a wordlist on host, apply wordlist rules on host, then append 3
digits on device:
-w=word.lst --rules=jumbo --mask='?w?d?d?d'
Duplicate words, then append 3 digits on device:
-w=word.lst --mask='?w?w?d?d?d'
Another way to write that:
-w=word.lst --rules=':d' --mask='?w?d?d?d'
Test strings consisting of uppercase words, 4 digits (processed on
device), then lowercase versions of the same words:
-w=word.lst --mask='?W?d?d?d?d?w'
And so on. Many of these option names may be abbreviated.
I've just tested all of these combinations of options against
raw-md5-opencl and made sure the reported speeds correspond to on-device
mask being in use.
