First year of medical school notes encrypted; begging for help

You might first try a dictionary like rockyou.txt, which has a number of common passwords, in case it was something simple.

After that, there are some decent howtos out there for growing your hashcat clue - like https://blog.thireus.com/cracking-story-...passwords/, for example - that demonstrate some of the attacks that are more advanced than a simple wordlist, but more efficient than brute force.

But most such howtos and techniques assume that you're working with a faster hash than this. This is literally one of the slowest commonly available hashes out there.

If you're passionate about it, you can start to study some of these howtos.
