lost wallet passphrase

[InterFinex_JB]

I found my old armory wallet which had some BTC's in my hard disk. I did install Ubuntu 18.04 to use Armory 0.96.5 and then i imported my wallet, but it was encrypted and i forgot the password so it didnt open.

I remember a part of the password, also it was not very long so i believe i can find the password by brute force using hashcat. But i do not know how can i get the password hash of the wallet, seems like JTR doesnt have a tool for armory. Can anyone help me about this?

Thanks.

What do you mean you cannot open the wallet? Only the private keys would be encrypted, Armory should be able to read addresses without any input from you. You will have to elaborate some more.

yeah i meant the private keys, couldnt explain it well sorry.

by the way i tried https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover to get the password hash and i got this error:

its telling something about mirror wallet, is this error about my armory or the tool im using?

It looks like this code is trying to call routines from Armory pre 0.94 with code files from 0.96.5. I'm going to guess it needs to downgrade the submodule, and write/check its tests suite against that. I'm not involved in that project for what it's worth.

Before we attempt to recover something here, have you checked that the wallet has funds?
