 Hello
out of stupidity have the 20 out of the 25 words of my seed, last 5 words are missing, is there any way to recover this wallet??

Do you know the order of what you have?  Is it the last 5 missing?  Or are you just 5 short?

The rest are in order only Last five missing

That's good.  The last one is a checksum.  So that limits your permutations slightly.  Your brute force script could be able to calculate the checksum, or at worst just cycle through all 24 other words as it is also always one of those.

A good CPU will be able to work out the four missing words in a matter of days, I would think.  But I am no expert on this subject.  Your bottleneck will be checking the address balance.  Thats the rub with Monero and could make it ,uch slower.  Perhaps someone smarter than me can weigh in.
