how can I make a hashcat mask for phone numbers in my area code?

Question

I am trying to find my own wifi password in a hashcat hccapx file and i cannot figure out how to make a mask to find it. I have made a mask file that contains

123$d$d$d$d$d$d$d
124$d$d$d$d$d$d$d

and i am trying to run it with `

hashcat -a 3 -m 2500 '~/Desktop/hash.hccapx' '/usr/share/hashcat/mask/phone_numbers.hcmask` 

and i it only runs for 10 seconds and obviously doesn't produce any results.

I am clearly missing something. what is it?

Answer 1

i found the answer and it was obvious.

the mask needs to have ? not &

123?d?d?d?d?d?d?d
124?d?d?d?d?d?d?d

All it take is looking into what you just typed again.
