How do you know it is only 5 binary characters? That might be your problem.
BTW, you're not supposed to post hashes on the board unless requested by the admins. Might want to redact it or risk getting banned for a period for not following the rules. . . .

im trying to open a password protected word file which uses the old 40bit key to encrypt.
I used https://hashc.co.uk/office2john because im a computer noob and was to lazy to run a Python Script. I received the following header:
$oldoffice$1*.......................
It also recommended Mode 9700 (However i read that mode 9710 is faster as far as i understood). I ran:
"hashcat64.exe -m 9710 $oldoffice$1*.......................... -a 3 ?b?b?b?b?b -w 3 --potfile-disable" on my windows 7 machine.
It reached 100% with 0/1 recovered. I tried it on my main device with a 660ti which was super slow (10000kH/s or less, even my laptop is faster, but thats not my problem) and is now @95% progress with no results yet. Tried a mates devide with a 7970 next and it reached 100% with no results in both modes (9700/9710). Am I doing anything wrong? Any suggestions?
I only need a short answer with correct command in case mine is wrong, im really unexperienced with hashcat.
Thanks in advance guys!
EDIT: Potential noob mistake: On the 7970 machine i interrupted the 9700 attempt by accident at 60% and restarted it with --skip (just changed the value until i started from 58%), as far as i understood the brute force attack there should be no problem because its only guessing through the whole key space anyway, but hey, as mentioned above im a total noob
