Title: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: Btcism on December 10, 2015, 07:39:46 AM Hi, there, I have read a lot of lost and corrupt and some hopless cases of loosing BTC´s because of errors or distraccions, and I have by now a pretty collection of posible solutions and "only way to" or "las resorts" but I haven´t yet found the software that scans the whole sistem in search of intentionaly hidden seeds on hard drive, does anybody around would like to make life of tons easier, wich is my case; can´t remember even if I keep it on the HD. I made atransfer accidentaly to the default wallet, resulting in a totaly oblivion and considerably juicy walllet, I´m lock out but I will find the way to get those bittys, Of course with loads of help. prior thanks and Grettings ;D Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: shorena on December 10, 2015, 07:59:50 AM So send coins to a wallet where you neither have the seed nor the password for? What wallet software do you use? Sounds like Electrum.
Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: Btcism on December 10, 2015, 08:42:32 AM Yeap, Is Electrum wallet, I have all seeds but that one, Default wallet has become a big cruel teacher of a basic lesson :/
I have this almost sure feeling that I must keept the seed some where, is it there already that seeds scanner? Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: torusJKL on December 10, 2015, 11:51:25 AM Yeap, Is Electrum wallet, I have all seeds but that one, Default wallet has become a big cruel teacher of a basic lesson :/ But you still have the wallet file and can open it, right?I have this almost sure feeling that I must keept the seed some where, is it there already that seeds scanner? I take it you don't remember the password either. Do you remember part of it? You might be able to brute force the password. Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: Btcism on December 10, 2015, 07:56:02 PM Hi, yes I have the file and acces (watch only) to the wallet and several variations of my passwords, wich way do you recomend to brute-force it? any hint to get to the goal is apreciate. Thanks for reply ;D Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: torusJKL on December 10, 2015, 08:30:14 PM Have a look in this thread:

XD I let you know how is it going. Grettings Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: Btcism on December 11, 2015, 07:08:53 PM Have a look in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1240452.msg12914519#msg12914519 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1240452.msg12914519#msg12914519) So here I am so sure about how is going to be my next password and after a deep meditation on my e-wallet methods and discipline, got all the stuff installed (Btcrecover-master) in order to start the struggle. I´m afraid my password is a kind of paradox, on one side is simple and predictable but on another side is infinite complex so I´d be able to remember but still be stealth enough; anyway after make my token list and copy my wallet file I run Btcrecover and it starts counting until 22,300 000 then remain like that with blinking cursor but nothing happens, could it be that I need to divide my tokens on two or more lists? to make it lighter, my password don´t have especial characters but have caps and numbers and is 16 chacs. long. I´m sure I will get it because I think it gottta be a type mistake, I send the bitcoins to the default wallet so it should have the first password I cooked (I asume). Thanks to @torusJKL to made things faster. Code: C:\btcrecover-master\btcrecover-master>btcrecover.py --wallet default_wallet --tokenlist tokens.txt Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: Btcism on December 11, 2015, 07:44:13 PM UPDATE: As I was thinking is a resource thing, I need more memory, processor possibly a bad-ass video-card, meanwhile I´ll try the --no-dupchecks command. I´m using a quad core with 4gb Ram with a lame video card. Code: C:\btcrecover-master\btcrecover-master>btcrecover.py --wallet default_wallet --t Any sugestion is wellcome.

Now is running fluently and the sistem isn´t slow at all, is counting 642, 000 000 passwords and still running smooth! I set the commands on the token file. I´m crossing fingers. :-\ Code: C:\btcrecover-master\btcrecover-master>btcrecover.py --wallet default_wallet --t Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: Btcism on December 13, 2015, 08:47:40 AM Hi, mi sistem is still running smooth, and my patience is keeping steady, I understand it will take some time, just hope to keep the process running (I have a robust UPS) or not loose the advance in case of system crash. This is the counting.... Code: C:\btcrecover-master\btcrecover-master>btcrecover.py --wallet default_wallet --t I´ll be persistance, thanks again guys for made things easier, I´ll keep in touch.

Its still counting, there was not a single attempt to open the wallet. Did you make a run with --performance in advance? Its looks like you are searching for a solution between too many possible passwords. Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: Btcism on December 16, 2015, 03:05:03 PM Does anybody knows wich is the command to continue the process on certain point? I have turn off my computer tottally forgotten I was processing... It seems it doesn´t save the advance, now I feel frustrated, 3 days lost, argh... ???

Its looks like you are searching for a solution between too many possible passwords. I´m afraid I am Sorena, do you think I can reduce the number of possible passwords? I mean is it possible to reduce the attempts without eliminating the whole necessesary combinations to get a positive result? Im checking the --performance command right now, to see what are you trying to say. I have lost 3 days of process and am fearing it did not save the progress :( Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: Btcism on December 16, 2015, 03:23:56 PM Code: C:\btcrecover-master\btcrecover-master>btcrecover.py --wallet default_wallet --p Hi @Sorena Trying it, Is it a kind of measurement to calculate the estimated time to get the whole process of youy token list? seems I need to dive a little more into the software to learn how to use it :/ Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: shorena on December 16, 2015, 05:50:33 PM Code: C:\btcrecover-master\btcrecover-master>btcrecover.py --wallet default_wallet --p Hi @Sorena Trying it, Is it a kind of measurement to calculate the estimated time to get the whole process of youy token list? seems I need to dive a little more into the software to learn how to use it :/ --performance gives you an estimate how long it will run given you know how many passwords you are going to try. Without knowing your token file I dont know how many passwords it will generate. 200k Passwords per second is not bad. You can limit the number of tokens with --max-tokens and --min-tokens. If you however only have a single token and mainly look for typos its no use to reduce this. If you have used --autosave you can continue by using the exact same command, e.g.: Code: >python btcrecover.py --wallet mbhd.wallet.aes --tokenlist tokens_abc123def_.txt --autosave test.sav --typos 1 --typos-case --no-dupchecks or you just run: Code: python btcrecover.py --restore test.sav Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: Btcism on December 17, 2015, 07:21:11 AM Thanks @shorena, I pretty saturated I´ll give it a try tomorrow, to evaluate my tokens and variations, I´m further than done right now, I really apreciatte the help it means a lot. You guys rock! Title: Re: Sofware scan computer looking for seeds Post by: Btcism on December 22, 2015, 11:28:23 AM ??? For some reason the btc recover is not saving sessions....
I won´t give up, just waiting to have some spare time to check, this whole matter demands me too much, I´m learning on the way, I´m looking forward to invite some drinks, we´ll get it (or not, we´ll cheer some drinks). |
