Title: How difficult is it to crack .wallet file? Post by: tyz on December 27, 2015, 08:04:29 PM Let's say, someone was able to steal my Multibit .wallet file. How difficult is it to crack it in order to get to the private keys without any information about the password?
Just wondering, because i recently found a virus on my computer and this question came up to me. Title: Re: How difficult is it to crack .wallet file?

How difficult is it to crack it in order to get to the private keys without any information about the password? Just wondering, because i recently found a virus on my computer and this question came up to me. Classic or HD? How long is the password? HD: Code: >python btcrecover.py --no-dupchecks --performance --wallet mbhd.wallet.aes while watching HD video. Classic: Code: >python btcrecover.py --no-dupchecks --performance --wallet multibit_abc123def.key Again while watching HD video. CPU is an i5 4. Gen. btcrecover does not support GPUs for Multibit yet. AFAIK its also no longer activly developed either. Title: Re: How difficult is it to crack .wallet file?

Actually, I do not know the password anymore. I am sure if I have even typed in one when I installed Multibit over a year ago. I saved all my private keys on a save place, so losing it would not be a big problem for me. Title: Re: How difficult is it to crack .wallet file?

Once someone else can access your private keys, they will transfer all coins elsewhere and at that point in time there is nothing you can do. |
