usage: wlf.py hcmask [-h] --wordlist FILE [--top TOP] [--min-count MIN_COUNT]
                     [-o FILE]

Analyze the mask distribution of a wordlist and export a hashcat
.hcmask file (most frequent masks first).

Examples:
  wlf.py hcmask --wordlist leaked.txt -o masks.hcmask
  wlf.py hcmask --wordlist leaked.txt --top 50 --min-count 5 -o top.hcmask

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --wordlist FILE       Input wordlist
  --top TOP             Keep only the top N masks (0 = all)
  --min-count MIN_COUNT
                        Minimum occurrences to keep a mask (default: 1)
  -o, --output FILE     Output .hcmask file

Flags

Flag / arg	Default	Required	Description
--wordlist	-	yes	Input wordlist
--top	0	no	Keep only the top N masks (0 = all)
--min-count	1	no	Minimum occurrences to keep a mask (default: 1)
-o, --output	-	no	Output .hcmask file

Input combinations

• Minimum: wlf hcmask --help
• Typical: see examples in the syntax block.
• Globals: --min-len, --max-len, --limit, --threads when the command generates lists.

Output

Stdout and/or -o / --output when the parser exposes it. Exit 0 on success; non-zero on invalid input.

Smoke

• Valid: exit 0
• Invalid: exit 2
