First problem, the input data is way too long, oclHashcat does not support input of that length.

Second problem, you can't math. Your keyspace isn't 145*38, it's 145^38. That's 272.84 bits...

Okay, I get the issue regarding the input length, but I feel like there might be a misunderstanding regarding the keyspace...

The resulting MD5 hash looks like this:
Code:
56d6c29e569e657fc0a1edea2c65a355
but the digits look like this:
Code:
36 15 18 26 01 13 12 22 19 27 07 02 33 17 34 20 03 13 35 03 09 08 -1 30 23 33 11 36 29 31 14 15 14 05 14 01 35 18 34 08 26 09 23 04 28 19 16 29 01 35 05 21 04 25 30 08 31 13 00 23 06 31 09 17 29 06 03 19 11 18 34 08 27 13 30 25 21 07 10 05 00 16 28 01 18 07 16 01 24 05 29 07 18 17 33 29 05 35 15 17 04 07 34 05 26 18 31 33 24 32 26 13 26 25 -1 21 19 24 03 36 14 03 16 09 15 21 -1 22 30 10 01 36 04 33 26 25 04 33 06 14 34 21 -1 26 21

I could also be completely confused. I'm fairly new to cryptography hashing as I just started learning about it and coding with it in Java. It's an interesting concept for me so I began to dig and here I am.

Is there not a way of a given "format" that it would be able to hash through? As mentioned previously, it's done in those 2 digit patterns with spaces in between. I feel like there has to be some way to brute-force that to get the resulting MD5. If oclHashcat can't do it, will regular Hashcat work? I just know that oclHashcat is faster because of GPU usage instead of CPU. Or should I be looking for some other program?

The reason I feel that it's possible is because there are only 38 possibilities for each "couple". Given the 145 "couples" that form, I would think that it might be possible although I see what you mean by 145^38 instead of 145*38. I think the solution to solving the problems you mentioned, and my possible confusion, would be the latter part of my original post. With given digits over time, would an input file containing those digits make it more practical? This being since it would narrow down the possibilities.
