Selected Answer: B
It's B hashcat hash.txt: Specifies the file you're using hashcat on -m 0: Tells hashcat that the hash type is MD5 -a 6: Tells hashcat that it will be using both a wordlist with a custom list appended to it seasons.txt: The wordlist being used. It will definitely contain the word "Winter" in it ?d?d?d?d?s: The custom list. It's telling hashcat to use 4 digits and one special character Combined, this effectively aligns with the description of the password and will more than likely crack the MD5 hashes
