I have a 12 word seed phrase that appears to be wrong (Ethereum)

[AtomicLemon_]

Hello everyone...

Hopefully this is the right place to post something like this.

12 ETH was sent to a new Metamask wallet, and the seedphrase written down. We have all 12 words.

But when we try to restore the wallet, all associated addresses seem to be empty.


Does anyone know any software too partially crack Ethereum seed phrases? (Try combinations of similar words)

Did you download the correct link for metamask? I'm thinking is that you might have downloaded the fake version of metamask and the seed that was given to you is also known by the creator of it. Which means that after seeing that you have sent ETH to it, they've sweep your balance.

lol READ what he said...   omg
he MADE an ETH addy, SENT 12 ETH to it, then wrote down the seed words
NOW hes trying to restore it, but it wont take the seed...        he says nothing about being robbed... now if he said "the ETH was transferred OUT", you might be right, but he didnt

@OP, theres no way for me to know from what u have said if i would be helping you jack someone (maybe you stole those seed words?) so i wont suggest how to solve this
imo, next time save a priv key put it in a text file and encrypt that text file. problem solved

I think there's no software that could do that because the seed phrases is not saved anywhere on their database so we are the only one know the seed phrases, except for hardware wallet like ledger there are the key button to reset or recover the wallet if we lost the seed or private key

[notblox1]

Double check address where you sent this 12 ETH coins on explorer.
Maybe you sent it to some other address.

You can't 'crack' ethereum seed words

Have I understood it correctly, that the associated addresses of ETH wallet you're trying to recover were empty? If that's true, then there is no reason for you to recover it; your effort will just turn into waste. Another thing, is it really necessary to crack Ethereum seed phrases if it's yours? Perhaps it's better to use the private key instead for you to be able to access it fully. If nothing works, then there's nothing we can do for your ETH IMO.

Nope, I did not steal these seed words. I am trying to help out a friend.

I found this software - BTCRecover - https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/


I am also sure that he used the correct version of metamask.

[meanwords]

That's a bummer. You might have written a part of the seed wrong. There's no way (There is but it is near impossible to do so) for you to crack it because if ETH were to be crackable, then why use it. Try to check if you have a screenshot of the seed hidden in your folder because that's what I do just in case.

I don't know if btcrecover works on ETH seed, I only know it used for brute forcing password.

that software will not help you a lot. How it is possible? as far as i know, before you create a new wallet and then metamask will give you a pop up to save your seed phrase into a file. you should ask him if did he already downloaded it or not?

That doesn't make sense if he was not trying all of the options to store his metamask. there will be a million possibilities to crack your seedphrase and that will not help you to recover your seed phrase again. If you have been losing it and there is no way to recover it.

So many people have been talking about this, some already made a request to add an export feature for metamask and the dev keeps ignoring it.

[pakhitheboss]

Not possible to crack seed words. I do not think any software can do that. Check once again the address where you sent those ETH and then try once again. Otherwise forget it.

I do know 12 words though. I suspect the 3rd one is the one that is incorrect, there is no way to bruteforce it?

Why is it not possible?

It is very unlikely that your seed has been hacked or cracked by someone if you did not make a mistake. My assumption is that you must have used fake metamask which was discussed a lot yesterday. This is clearly your negligence.
On the other hand, somehow I do not really believe in metamask because its use is only installed on the browser. Which could be a bad person copying it to take your keylogger whether it's seed, mnemonic, and privkey. Try to be more careful next time using a wallet other than metamask like Trustwallet for mobile devices and use MEW or hardware wallet if you are using a PC.

Sorry to hear, i believe you download the wrong metamask version and you got your coins stolen, i won't even recommend the metamask because it works as inbrowser plugin which is not safe at all

Who are 'we' ? is someone there with you when you created the metamask wallet? anyways even if its been stolen there should be history of transactions sent from the wallet, can you provide the eth address?

[salty]

When writing 12 words, You had to follow the instructions and write those words in a notebook.Now it is almost impossible to pick up these 12 words.

[huu78]

Very unlikely to break the seed of a coin like Ethereum. Sometimes we have saved the private key or seed and we forget if ever wrong to squeeze the letters and seed replaced add 1 letter.
Lost already from the seed created a new wallet because no one used the seed. So it is difficult to crack a private key or a seed to restore your wallet because they can not access your wallet too.

I do have these 12 words. One must of been written down wrong.

The coins are still in the address that it was sent too. They have not moved an inch.

If you really write down the 12 words by yourself then it means you wrote the wrong thing. My little advice would be to check each word, and most especially the spelling, that's where the mistake might be. That is, you might have written color as colour, something like that. Next time, ensure you cross-check those 12 words and if possible write them down twice.

right, a 1 letter error can cause us to fail to access it. what I usually do is copy and save it, and if I need to access it I just copy and paste, this is to avoid writing errors. but if you feel you are correct but cannot access it, I think it is difficult for that, especially if there is no recovery option

Letter? If there is an error in one letter then the seed will not be accepted.
I think what you mean is there is an error word that he has copied. But as far as I know, you cannot open a wallet using a seed with an incorrect word on it, there seem to be an unknown error when he created the wallet and it's really hard to determine the issue if there is no images that we can see to help OP with his problem.
