Here is the result of the cracking attempt with a random mask:
The 7z archive/files are not encrypted in any way, just password protected. I can also try running hashcat on my Dell R420 - ubuntu 20.4 - ,but it will take some time setting up the machine and I doubt this will solve the issue
I could post the hash, but from what I know, posting complete hashes is not allowed.
Code:
hashcat -a 3 -m 11600 321.hash ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l
hashcat (v6.2.6) starting
OpenCL API (OpenCL 3.0 PoCL 3.0+debian Linux, None+Asserts, RELOC, LLVM 13.0.1, SLEEF, DISTRO, POCL_DEBUG) - Platform #1 [The pocl project]

This hash-mode is known to emit multiple valid candidates for the same hash.
Use --keep-guessing to continue attack after finding the first crack.
