[SOLVED] 0.1 BSV Reward - Help needed recovering Blockchain.info backup file

[fedexpress]

Hi guys,

I have my old blockchain.info wallet backup file "wallet.aes.json"

Here is some part of the file content:

Code:

{"pbkdf2_iterations":5000,"version":2,"payload":"l5wAmAZrWx32WXXvIu6bwjDKhgDDo+yIXkKYt8zfalwlW/6sdFK/NeZCUrIxmAFZT5DIWXV0OE7kc+wHwjn2Nz/rIlS0tJHNUaCQ0cP1HMYhkjqRKghsn5epEoPt/4lAPA=="}

I know my primary password, and part of my secondary password.

I need a tool that can iterate between characters quickly (password is like ~15-20 chars long and I have the first 11 characters, I know it is alphanumeric only, all lowercase)

I have downloaded "btcrecover", ran the tests using this command in Terminal (I don't use Windows OS):

Code:

python run-all-tests.py

The tests are okay, but I'm not sure on how to proceed now?

I tried the script on "extract-scripts/extract-blockchain-second-hash.py" and after entering my correct primary password, here is the output:

Code:

Blockchain second password hash, salt, and iter_count in base64:
...

Now do I use this second password hash somehow or I need to use another method with my "wallet.aes.json"?

Try reading the instructions here: https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Extract_Scripts/#blockchaincom-second-passwords

You basically just run btcrecover with the --data-extract option instead of the --wallet option and specify all the other options (tokenlist, typos etc)... refer: https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/TUTORIAL/ for instructions on the various options you can use for trying to bruteforce the password... when prompted, input the second password "hash" that was extracted and the script will then attempt to bruteforce the password.

There is a blockchain.com specific example here: https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Usage_Examples/2020-05-08_Recovering_Blockchain_Wallet_Passwords/Example_Recovering_Blockchain_Wallet_Passwords/

Thank you very much for the guides, could you please Private Message me your "Bitcoin SV" Address?
I was initially planning to pay a 0.1 BSV reward for help here. (not much I know)
