I have a situation where the HEX key length is 32 bytes, however, these 32 bytes are simply eight repetitions of a 4 byte value (reducing the entropy source to a 32-bit value). This should be an instant brute force crack if I can figure out how I can instruct hashcat to use brute force, but repeat that 4 byte value to total 32 bytes. I'd love to hear some suggestions.
As an example, some generated keys would look like this:
0100010001000100010001000100010001000100010001000100010001000100
