I have a salted SHA1 hash that contains the the solution to a geocaching puzzle and the puzzle author intended that a brute-force method be used in solving it. :
8882caa3b88a5a16fad6287e26d8a8f9454ad643
I know that the salt is "PEPPER" and that the plain-text will have the form "N51 03.### W114 07.###", where # = 0...9
My computer is a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i& iMac with 16 GB or 1333MHz DDR3 memory. I have Windows XP installed under Parallels, so I am able to run hashcat as a Windows program.
I'm absolutely new to hashcat, so I could really use some step-by-step help to set it up to solve for the "#"s in the noted plain-text.
