Password in list, but hashcat cant find it? [Electrum litecoin wallet] - Atomsoul - 03-07-2019
Hi everyone,
I am trying to brute force one of my old electrum litecoin wallets but before I started - i wanted to check if I having the right password on a list will even work.
These are the steps i used:
*Downloaded the correct correlated version of the wallet, created a new wallet with 123abc as a password.
*downloaded the newest Jumbo package john the ripper program to use electrum2john.py
*converted my wallet file into a hash which gave me "$electrum$2*XXXXXXXXXX*XXXXXXXXX") -> into hash.txt
*I've put 10 lines of passwords with one of them being the right one (123abc), called the file known.txt
*I've used hashcat64.exe -m 16600 -a 0 hash.txt known.txt
The program seems to be running, but nothing is found.
anyone have any idea why is this happening? I understood $electrum$2 does work from not long ago.
Thanks in advance!

does the example hash from https://hashcat.net/wiki/example_hashes work for you ?
Do you see any self-test errors at the start of hashcat ?
If you are sure that the hash should crack and your setup (driver/hardware etc) is working for other hashes, just failing for this specific type 2 hash (which works with electrum), you should open a new github issue and include all the information and (test) hashes + password:

Thank you very much

update: I'm pretty sure this problem with electrum2 was already fixed, see: https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/pull/1805 and https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/issues/1942
any version > 5.1.0 should work (currently only the beta from https://hashcat.net/beta has the fix)

Yap, #1942 solved my issue.
thanks!
