9 million done. Search exhausted 😴

Many thanks for the info dude. I’ve read plenty about Dave and come to the same conclusion as you. He’s ultimately doing what I’m doing at the moment, however without a doubt much better equipment than what I’ve got!

We’re down to 2 million passwords! So there’s still hope. Correct, im not including the — list pass. I ran that command to see how many combinations there are. Then removing and continuing with the brute force.

The token list is very basic. If we have no joy, I’d massively appreciate any help tweaking it. I’m getting a little confused with the exact way to write things to guarantee certain words are there and their position. I should have a result within the next 24 hours. If no joy, we can discuss further. If your efforts help solve it, il drop you a little tip!

Cheers, Chris

Hello mate,

ETA for 9.75 million passwords was 3 days. It’s slowly working it’s way through it all. I’m just hoping my password is contained within the token file I’ve made.

I remember the first word the 4 “symbols” after are a blur!!

Il keep you updated! All the help is really appreciated, il take a look at the following links. Should I be have the dreaded “search exhausted”. Are there actually any genuine, legitimate people who offer the brute force service for commission?

Cheers, Chris

o_e_l_e_o,

Many thanks dude. All sorted. £ symbol accepted. Currently working it’s way through 9 million combinations. I think il have to work on the token a little.

Thankyou both for your guidance!

Cheers, C

NotATether,

Many thanks for your reply. It’s really appreciated. I’m a bit of a novice. I understand - - utf8 has to be put as a command. Where and when do I input this into command prompt? Before my - - listpass etc?

Many thanks in advance, C

Morning all,

So I’ve taken on the challenge of brute forcing my core wallet (forgotten password). BTCrecover & Python have been fully installed and work well. Generating password lists and trying them against my wallet.

My issue is, I need to use a specific character in my token file. Character being £. Each time I add this character as a token in my .txt file and “list passwords”. An error returns. As soon as I take this character off the token list. Procedure runs as normal. Im certain the £ (GBP) is there and must be used.

“BTCrecover.py: error: token on line 2 has character with code point 194 > max (127 / ASCII) See the Unicode support section in the tutorial”.

Has anyone experienced this or a similarly issue with a special character / any possible solutions?

Many thanks in advance, Chris
