Title: Can I brute force a multibit password? Post by: KaChingCoinDev on February 25, 2015, 04:49:24 PM Can I brute force a multibit password?
Title: Re: Can I brute force a multibit password? Post by: KaChingCoinDev on February 25, 2015, 04:53:45 PM Depends on how strong the password is, is it yours and you forgot it? Yes. Password isn't very strong, 9 characters at most. I have entered over 100 times my guesses manually, now In trying to find a script... Title: Re: Can I brute force a multibit password?

Post by: btchris on February 25, 2015, 08:39:01 PM Here's a password recovery tool that might help (open source, written in Python): https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover)
Just a warning: it may take you a bit of reading to get it up and running. The quick start is here: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#btcrecover-tutorial (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#btcrecover-tutorial) Please take special note that it works on MultiBit .key files, not on the wallet files themselves (more details are in the Tutorial linked above). If you have any questions about it, please feel free to ask me. Good luck! Title: Re: Can I brute force a multibit password?

I've bolded it above.... Although it is possible to use btcrecover against a MultiBit wallet file, it's much slower and it's harder to install the prerequisites on windows (I haven't even added instructions for this in the tutorial yet, but will eventually). Instead use one of your .key files, see here: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#finding-multibit-wallet-files (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#finding-multibit-wallet-files) Title: Re: Can I brute force a multibit password?

Also, your setup tutorial is pretty idiot-friendly ;) It's way too long, though... I'm thinking of breaking it up into smaller pieces so it at least doesn't seem so intimidating. Haven't decided yet. In any case, thanks for the kind words, they're much appreciated! Title: Re: Can I brute force a multibit password? Post by: KaChingCoinDev on February 25, 2015, 10:49:23 PM Exactly.

Post by: El Emperador on March 07, 2015, 09:12:04 PM I Just Remembered My Password!!! Thanks!!! Nice to hear it :) Anyway, I suggest to write passwords on a piece of paper to easily recover them ( and of course to store the sheet in a safe place )... |
