I seem to have misunderstood.
I thought hash cat was "Advanced Password Recovery".
If I have forgotten a password and have an idea what its format was, I still need to know the offset of the hash within the file, the algorithm and what the software has done to the hash of the original password to get the hash data that is written into the file. At each stage of the recovery process I expect to offer a hash to hash cat along with an attack rule to crack it.
Hence the question.
