This is one of the most important options affecting the length of attacks.

 

If the minimum and maximum lengths are different, the program check the shorter passwords first. For example, if you set the minimum to 3 and the maximum to 7, the program will start from 3-character passwords, then try 4-character ones, and so on. While ARCHPR is running, it shows the current password length, as well as the current password, average speed, elapsed and remaining time, and total and processed number of passwords (Program status).  All of this information except the average speed and elapsed time, which are global, is related only to the current password length.
