Help Needed – Qubic Wallet Recovery .vault file, PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256) - d305 - 08-11-2025
I’m trying to recover my Qubic wallet but have lost both the password and the recovery phrase. Unfortunately, my computer crashed before I could save them.
The wallet file is a
.vault
file, which I believe is encrypted using PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 with 100,000 iterations, and contains the salt, IV, cipher, and data fields.
For testing, I created a separate wallet where I knew the password, extracted the hash using Python, and successfully cracked it with Hashcat. However, I’m stuck on how to extract a similar hash from my real wallet file, given I don’t have the password.
I’ve looked into
john2hash
and similar tools, but most examples seem tailored for other wallet formats, and I’m not sure they apply to Qubic.
Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
