bitcoin hash cracking help please

[Borislee]

Hello dear friends,

Wallet.dat after installing bitcoin core
I had a problem with my wallet and password.

And for a long time, 2-3 years, I waited until today because I was afraid to get support.

However, during the recent global economic crisis, I lost my business and the unemployment period wore me out a lot.

I started to take care of the wallet again with the hope of getting through these days. I've been acting carefully for a few months, but now I'm starting to think I won't be able to break the hash.

I think I'm about to give up,
I followed the cooperation here and was impressed, but I saw that people were always deceived in agreements made with well-intentioned people.

Therefore, if the friends who want to be interested accept this as help, not a business agreement, and support me, I do not want to give an exact figure, but I will donate a minimum of 1 BTC as it will help me and help me hold on to life again in difficult times.

I kept my hash code secret because I did not know if sharing it openly would cause a security breach. If dear expert friends who are interested in the subject respond to the title, I will follow up instantly. Best regards.

Accept the password problem, you have not explained anything else. It's better if you can give as much information as you have.

Do not share the wallet file, private key to anyone else.

[NotATether]

What is the issue here?

Did you lose the password to your Bitcoin Core account? Or is it something else?

If so, what kind of characters did you use in it, and approximately how long was the password?

Keep in mind that Bitcoin Core uses PBKDF2 for hashing its passwords so it's going to be quite slow to break into any Bitcoin wallet compared to other types of hashes like SHA even if the password is relatively short.

[Borislee]

I would like to give clues about the old wallet and the 12-year-old password, but this is not possible. I can only help the person who is interested in cracking the hash.

People are simply asking what's your problem as the whole "hash" thing is ambiguous, not about giving a clue about what you used as a password or how many bitcoins you have! Simple, why can't you access it, you have forgotten the password, yes or no?
You need that pass cracked?

Also, since I've seen enough cases, it's your wallet, right? Cause if you bought a file online, I can assure you there are no coins there at all.

[Borislee]

Dear friends, as you understand, I use translation. When I translate your questions, the meaning changes.

I didn't buy a wallet, it belongs to me.

A wallet from when Bitcoin first came out

The balance inside is still there but I can't help with the password because I didn't set the password and the pkey is lost.

Therefore, the person who wants to attack must rely entirely on his own experience.

[Charles-Tim]

The balance inside is still there but I can't help with the password because I didn't set the password and the pkey is lost.

You can not help with the password because you did not set the password? That statement is not clear at all. If you have a wallet file and you did not encrypt it, that means it has no password.

Or you encrypted it and forgot the password?

[Borislee]

Unfortunately, there was again a confusion of meaning due to translation.

No, I did not set the password for the wallet at that time, someone else did, and not knowing the password was not as important as it is now.

[EL MOHA]

Dear friends, as you understand, I use translation. When I translate your questions, the meaning changes.

First thing, what’s your native language or the language you can communicate with properly if the local board is here then we can lead yuh there to get help because you are not actually communicating your problems properly.

Which wallet is that and concerning the password, if the wallet belongs to you, is it encrypted(passworded) or you didn’t password it but it is requesting a password? If it is the latter then someone might have done it and you need the password from such person.

[hosseinimr93]

No, I did not set the password for the wallet at that time, someone else did, and not knowing the password was not as important as it is now.

So, you have no idea about possible passphrases.
Unless the passphrase is short and it contains only a few characters, there is no way to brute-force that.

Since you say the password was set by someone else, I doubt that's yours.
Isn't the wallet owned by the person who set the password?

[Borislee]

I understood from the first moment that no matter what I said about the situation, nothing would change, and that prejudiced people were interested in the subject.

However, I ignored your disrespect by saying there were translation errors, but I hope someone will put this friend to his/her place, who still persistently and loudly accuses me of theft with his own words. hosseinimr93
You are so sure of the situation that you are not ashamed of it, right? you ask.

They gave you the ax to prune the forest, what are you doing here?

[BlackHatCoiner]

Listen. If you can't write in English, then please don't tell us off. Everyone in this topic is merely trying to help you. There is no disrespect in telling you the obvious; we can't make much sense from the translation errors.

The situation is very unclear to me. You said that someone else set the password. But before that, you said "pkey is lost", and I don't understand to which key you're referring to. If you do, indeed, have a passphrase encrypted wallet file and you don't know anything about the password, then bad news. If you do know something, then try out btcrecover. Do it yourself, on an airgapped device.

If it is your own wallet, you should either set its password or leave its unencrypted without a password.

If it was set without a password, was unencrypted, you can access it now.

If you set a password for your wallet, try to bruteforce the password to access your wallet private keys.

You can only brute force your wallet password but can not brute force your wallet private keys because if brute force Bitcoin private keys is possible, many Bitcoin holders already lost their bitcoins to hackers.

Make some copies of your wallet files before trying to brute force its password or use any wallet recovery services.

Sorry but I don't see who wants to attack you with your wallet file.

[digaran]

Do you have the address with balance? You should post your address here so we know what we are dealing with.
I don't know about the fee in such cases but I assume 20% is considered a fair fee for the one "cracking" the "code".

We have seen this type of "help request",as soon as they realize people around here are vigilant, they just vanish and never come back.

Don't take it personally and nobody is accusing you of anything. But if you hang around in the Bitcoin community as long as the rest of us, you'll realize that it is a common theme that new users come here asking for help to recover the password for a wallet they have. After spending a lot of time trying to help them we finally realize that the wallet they claimed to own was actually something they had bought on the internet. Such files are fake and do not contain a single satoshi, however they are modified to show addresses containing large amounts of bitcoins.

When you say you have a wallet file but you haven't set its password, it is a logical conclusion that there might be a chance that the file you are talking about could be one of those cases. Hence the question.

If we can get past that and be sure that this is indeed a real wallet file that you owned (not bought/found on the internet) then we can start on trying to figure out if there is any hope of recovering it by narrowing the search-space for that password.

[Borislee]

I sincerely apologize to everyone. I respect and welcome the fact that the real and permanent members of this platform still want to be a guide to help and guide my topic.

I apologize again for the confusion of meaning and the way I expressed myself. I did not want to disturb people who are respectful of their work here and who really want to help people with interest. I just wanted to get help. Otherwise, I do not want to disrespect anyone by offering a deal or making an offer.

Even though I tried to crack my wallet password with brute force and all kinds of techniques (hashcat, john) for more than 3 months, I could not succeed. As a last resort, I tried methods to decrypt my mkey encryption with AES, but I was still unsuccessful.

I get a warning that there is a problem with AES and mkey structure.

"minversion": 60000,
    "mkey": {
        "encrypted_key": "9334e5e670b7bb942f9ccce796bad4af83d2783f238d5fde0e082e20776ff85cb92bb0737da214e 2e39fd61b828bf6c",
        "nDerivationIterations": 135318,
        "nDerivationMethod": 0,
        "nID": 1,
        "otherParams": "",
        "salt": "adfbb9cfa83e9cf6"
    },

note: The key has been slightly censored because I do not know whether to enter the original information or not.

TypeError: decrypt_wallet_dat() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encrypted_mkey'

I think there are probably 2 reasons:
1- special character in the password
2- Or do I not have any mkey ( encrypted_mkey --> encrypted_key <-- )

[whanau]

I have this wallet

$bitcoin$64$f83d2783f238d5fde0e082e20686ff85cb92bb0737da214e2e39fd61b828bf6c$16$adfbb9cfa83e9cf6$135318$2$00$2$00   135318

which remarkably has the same salt and iterations as yours. It also had a password set by someone who wasn't me. Perhaps they are the same.?

Not just those, the hash also matched.
It just wont match with any browser's "find in page" feature because of a hidden whitespace between 'e' and '2' in his quote (forum issue).

Those are definitely the same wallet.dat file and "widely available" online  

[LoyceV]

Perhaps they are the same.?

Unfortunately, this happens a lot nowadays. It makes it harder to distinguish between real and fake help requests.

I had a problem with my wallet and password.

So you lied. If you're dumb enough to buy a fake Bitcoin Core wallet.dat online, how about you waste your own time instead of everyone else's time?

If you read through the OP's posts it seems even more outrageous. One lie follows another. <_<
He got his lost wallet.dat (or just the address!) + hash of the password from here.
The address in question is: 1GDcVTrZNhVFt7pEnwvHfepoth6mqHVVvq

I have this wallet

Ofc it's the same since you both use the same list to "help"
