Title: Btcrecover for cracking sentences Post by: paolo_1976 on September 06, 2018, 03:53:31 PM Hi everybody,
Short stroy long: I wanted to unlock my Bitcoin wallet to sell my BCH (~10BTC). I bought some 6 years ago, and now I'm trying to crack my password with btcrecover. I'm pretty sure it's a sentence, that I know (I unlocked my wallet once a few years ago to pay for my taxes) but there must be a subtle variation that I cannot find anymore. It's psychologically quite strange to have you from 6 years ago as your opponent ! So, well, my password is a sentence similar to "El cinco de mayo es para las personas que viven en Estados Unidos el equivalente del 16 de septiembre para los mexicanos." and I'd like to change a few words, such as:
My goal is to test all the variants with btcrecover, so I've written a token file looking like this: Code: ^1^El%s el%s I've computed that there are around 20,000 combinations, however when I execute btcrecover with the following options: Code: ./btcrecover.py --wallet wallet.dat --tokenlist tokens.txt --utf8 --min-tokens 18 I'm obviously doing something wrong, any help would be appreciated :) Besides, are you aware of BTC client changes that could have happened between 2012 and now, and that would impact Unicode passwords? Have a great day! (Now trying to crack with passwordlist and --typos 3) Paolo Title: Re: Btcrecover for cracking sentences Post by: TheArchaeologist on September 07, 2018, 10:47:19 AM Code: ./btcrecover.py --wallet wallet.dat --tokenlist tokens.txt --utf8 --min-tokens 18 The default maximum runtime is 168 hours you can override this with a higher value by adding a --max-eta parameter to your call. Something like this: Code: ./btcrecover.py --wallet wallet.dat --tokenlist tokens.txt --utf8 --min-tokens 18 --max-eta=100000000 Title: Re: Btcrecover for cracking sentences Post by: paolo_1976 on September 09, 2018, 05:05:27 PM Hi,
And thanks for the answer! Actually my problem is that with that token file, it shouldn't reach millions of tries (and therefore > 2 days) but only about 20,000 combinations... so there's obviously something wrong in the way I wrote the token file.

If you need some help making that brute force list send me a PM, and i will help you.

Based on the OP you're trying to test for 18 sets of words. Is each set a repeat? 3,800,000 looks like double the number of words rather than the 20000. I.E 15. StringX StringX is 15. StringX StringX 15. StringX StringY 15. StringY StringX ... |
