Which hash type should I use? - -By_CesuR- - 03-17-2025
Which hashcat type should I use for the following code? I am not sure if it is 13500 or 11500. I am trying to recover the password for my old Bitcoin wallet. Based on my research, the code below seems to use the PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 algorithm. Can you tell me the correct method and which hash type to select? I have the salt_key, salt value, and iteration count.
hashcat -m 13500 -a 3 -i 49019 --salt-file=salt.txt whash.txt -1 ?u?l?d.-
Modified example
$bitcoin$64$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx$16$xxxxxxxxx$49019$2$00$2$00
thank you..

Are you using some garbage shit like chat gpt or something ? Anyway don't throw random switches & arguments hoping to make it work.
Both-m 11500 and 13500 have nothing to do with bitcoin hashes
-i is not used for iteration count
--salt-file is from hashcat-legacy, and again, not useful here
You didn't specify a mask for your attack
Read the --help/wiki, also hashcat can identify hash types, so for specific ones you don't even need to use -m.
