Title: Password recovery for KDC Post by: luck5 on March 17, 2014, 11:01:09 PM Hi guys, so i forgot the password of my KDC wallet,
i ALWAYS make pws with the same logic, and this time too, but i dont know what happened, maybe a wrong capital letter or whatever but i cant figure it out. is there a software where i can put the list with all the possible pws i could have made and then it tries to force with various combinations? i found this guide http://www.gobitgo.com/articles/1005/How-To-Recover-Your-Bitcoin-Wallet-Password/ but when i try to test John The Ripper it says i need AVX for that build. and honestly i dont have idea what that means... i found this thread too https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85495.0 but it's for bitcoin, i dont know if it's the same Title: Re: Password recovery for KDC Post by: MatthewBCF on April 07, 2014, 10:05:20 PM I goxed myself. So this AM I walked thru that gobitgo howto ..What do ya know it worked for my typo-add. I probably spent 1 hour from start to finish. Of course I already use virtualbox (which is simple enough for a cryptouser anyway).
I find it ironic how a simple "a" in the middle could cause such woes, but their write-up is basically flawless if followed. Actually I think the only hard part in the process is making sure the word generator is seeded with a good set of candidates. Now to figure out a better way to manage wallets - Perhaps armory. If you think it can't happen to you then you probably already have a rock solid process in place :/ |
