Which method to check these types of md5 inputs - quentusrex - 08-31-2012
Is there a particular best way to approach checking passwords where I have a large part of the md5 input, and the hash, but there is a section of 'random' variation?
Such as:
1234567890?????qwertyuiop
Where I know the prefix and suffix, but not the length of the ? section, not the values. I was trying to construct a dictionary with each ? of a single length, then a set of rules that would try a character set but I had little success so far.

Check the wiki if you don't know how. You will have to create a mask for each length that you want to try.
