Subject: Re: Cracking SHA1 with some knowledge of password

You could use an external filter but it will have crappy performance for a fast raw hash like this.

Unfortunately you can't use rules with Incremental mode. I have considered trying to enable that. Should be trivial.

Jim's idea is your best bet.
