Part of the hash as a matching pattern - zero-k - 02-04-2022
Hello Guys! I need to brute force keccak-256 hash (17800 module), but don't need full matching.
Say, any hash that starts with the specified 8 bytes is ok for me
203f8877 7f18bb4e ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ********
I've searched through the forum a little and found there's no wildcard masks for the hashes, only for passwords.
I'm pretty sure my problem can be solved if I could slightly modify the matching condition in the code, but I'm not that good in cl, rather write in C++. So I would be thankful if you help me to locate the code where 2 hashes comparison happens and give some hints how to reduce the full hash comparison to just 8 bytes.
