Description

It would be useful if we could take a partial password or a known wordlist and permute based off it in brute forcing similar to how hashcat works.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study hashcat's mask attack mode and permutation generation algorithms, then analyze Hydra's existing codebase to find the best place to integrate a similar module for permuting passwords based on rules or wordlists.
