Title: Somebody plzz help give advice ! :( blackcoin wallet bruteforce
Post by: slosh on April 01, 2014, 02:42:48 AM
sooo at some point i made a grave late night mistake and encrypted my blackcoin wallet which is a big chunk of my savings with a password that seemed so obvious i wouldn't forget.  well my cleaning lady has thrown away the only backup written copy of the password and it's been so many weeks i'm a character off somewhere.

lucky for me (well maybe) the password is 10 - 20 characters, no numbers, all lower case with many of the characters being a phrase that I am sure of.  seems like it should be possible to bruteforce or rainbow table or something just like i used to for old pc admin passwords back in the day.  


I'm decently tech savvy and what not but i'm no world class engineer so i'm here asking for advice.


 - Thanks to anyone who has taken the time to read this!

If you could generate a list of candidates, wouldn't something as simple as a bash script (or batch file, etc.) be able to do the job using the CLI wallet?
