Hashcat with bitcoin2john.py - How many characters ?a?a..? - realman123 - 06-29-2021
Hello everybody,
Initially I asked a different thing in this topic but I solved it by just redoing the whole process, as I think my bitcoin2john.py file was empty at first.
Now my question is, when I enter the prompt like
hashcat64.exe -a 3 -m 11300 wallethash.txt ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a
The "?a" is one character, right? How many characters should I chose, if I cannot remember how many characters I used for the passphrase?
I would appreciate any support! Thx!

?a means all possible "standard chars" a-zA-Z0-9 and special chars like *# (see help)
well you can choose i think up to 12 times ?a before you ran into a buffer overflow, if you dont remember anything choose option --increment to tell hashcat to start at postition one with this mask and try upwards one, two three and so on positions ?a -> ?a?a -> ?a?a?a ...
