Thanks for such a quick reply.
I have to go out this morning, but will give it a try this afternoon.
Once I've got it or run into a brick wall, I'll post a note in the forum.
hashcat sounds like the perfect program for this type of puzzle.
I'm surprised that nobody has ever mentioned in in geocaching circles.
I can see the potential for my own puzzles using some of its other features.

much thanks for asking us for support in this challange
There are many ways to solve this problem, but the one I prefer when it comes to single hashes and partially known plaintext is using oclHashcat-lite:
Quote:oclHashcat-lite64 -m 100 8882caa3b88a5a16fad6287e26d8a8f9454ad643 "PEPPERN51 03.?d?d?d W114 07.?d?d?d"
You do not have access to a GPGPU enabled card in your iMac, but you can use CPU based hashcat:
1. open notepad, place the hash 8882caa3b88a5a16fad6287e26d8a8f9454ad643 on the first line and save it as "hash.txt"
2. open cmd windows and type:
Quote:mp64 "PEPPERN51 03.?d?d?d W114 07.?d?d?d" -o wordlist.txt
hashcat-cli64 -m 100 hash.txt wordlist.txt
The tool "mp64.bin" is the maskprocessor, one of the tools of the hashcat suite. See here for download link: http://hashcat.net/wiki/maskprocessor
I have it cracked. I just dont want to post it here and destroy the challange this way. If you need the result PM me.
