Partially known info for decryption
#1
I have a table of 128-bit hashes that represent US mailing addresses. I believe they represent an address such as: 123 Main St, Apt B, Beverly Hills, CA 90210-3209.

But, I do not know what the format of the address is. It could be
Code:
123 Main St|Apt B|Beverly Hills|CA|90210|3209
or some variation. It could be all upper case, or all lower case. There could be additional information as well that I do not know.


I'm guessing that it's a MD5 hash, but don't know for certain. I'm pretty sure that Address1, Address2, City, State, Zip are part of the final result. Those fields may be in a different order than that as well. The delimiter may be anything, including multiple characters.

First, is it worth my time to try to reverse a hash knowing the above? I just ran a straight brute-force for a few minutes and was processing 4667.3 MH/s.

If you think so, how do I run hashcat to optimize for this scenario?

Thanks for your assistance.
