How is a prefix and a suffix for the password during a dictionary attack used?

Solution

For example, if the word was "test", it would try things like: 32!test, 737test, 92test!, 2$7test), #4^test&91, 6(1test842

So how would I do that with either the user interface or a macro?


You can create rules file like this one:
-----------------------
Id=IGPRSRULES_V1.0
Name=3 dictionaries
Language=English
Caps=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Smalls=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

[Rules]
$w$x$y
-----------------------

Then select dictionary-based attack and use this rules file as in attached screenshot.

1.dic should contains all prefix combinations
2.dic should contains all "words" you're want to use
3.dic should contains all suffix combinations
(3.dic can be the same as 1.dic if prefixes and suffixes are the same).

Program will test all possible combinations, obviously it's (number of lines in 1.dic) * (number of lines in 2.dic) * (number of lines in 3.dic).
