I have an old winrar file and I know what the password is supposed to be, but I think I mistyped it when I encrypted it. Can someone walk me through how to tell hashcat what code to use in this regard?

on

Let's say my file is named DumbFile.rar

Let's say the password is Johnny1234

That's the same format as the password, including the number of characters, first letter being capital, and there are 4 digits at the end.

My belief is that I mistyped and set the password as Johnnny1234 or Johnny12234 or Johnnyq1234 or something like that.

I have hashcat-6.2.6. I see mountains of information on it, but I'm unfamiliar with nearly every term being used. The simplest, dumbest question is - how the hell do I run it?

To run a Windows console program in mintty or Cygwin/MSYS/MSYS2 sshd, prepend winpty to the command line:

^ Might as well ask me to remove a tumor from a cat while it's running. All of the explanations I see require a great deal of understanding terms that I don't know.

I need to install other software first? Or do I run it in a command prompt? If so, what's the code I need to input?

Thanks. If I can buy you a coffee for any help, please let me know.
