You could do it in four runs:
john ... -mask=?u?d?u?u?d?d
john ... -mask=?u?d?l?l?d?d
john ... -mask=?u?d?u?l?d?d
john ... -mask=?u?d?l?u?d?d
You could probably use some syntax to squeeze this into one single mask.
Not sure how. Check out the doc/MASKS file. It should be possible to use
a mask like:
?u?d[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]?d?d
But I haven't tried it. If it works, do another run and insert a third
[a-zA-Z] for three upper or lower case characters in the middle instead
of two.
