This would require ability to have dynamic character sets. Right now, there us upper, lower and digit. We might need one call ?@ that is 'aA@&', ?o that is 0oO, ?s that is sS$ etc. Then p?@...sw?ord would allow elite. The nice thing about this is getting things like password, pas$word, pa$sword and pa$$word all working. Doing that with JtR's current rules is not easy (especially the middle 2 of those words). But with a mask, this is trivial.
I would suggest not to mix l33t mode and mask mode.
Instead, --rules and --mask could use the same character classes.
L33t mode could use a separate config file, each line containing the
original character, followed by possible replacements
aA@4
iI!1
lL17
sS$5
This is more flexible, and allows easy adjustments.
