Litecoin wallet: Not cracking password (even known).
#1
Hi there.

It's been four weeks from now when I started with my forgotten wallet password recovery. Until yesterday I had a plan to wrote something with questions about encoding, but on the way to eliminate everything else, I discovered that new test-wallet can't be cracked even without any local character or any special character.

Is there some known issues with cracking Litecoin/Bitcoin wallet hashes? Any issues with wallet versions, Hashcat versions or something?

These are my steps:

0. Radeon HD5870 (yep, it's not too much, but maximum keyspace for me is about 3000)

0. Litecoin Core v0.14.2 (64-bit)

1. wallet.dat is copied to another machine on Linux.

2. There I get hash by bitcoin2john.py (hash looks OK).

3. Making files: .hash .dict (left and right), cracked.txt

4. Run:
Code:
hashcat64.exe -m 11300 wallet.hash -a 1 d1.dict d2.dict -o cracked.txt --self-test-disable -w 3 --status

5. Every reasonable encoding was tested (also inside .cmd file by adding "chcp"): UTF-8, UTF-8(noBOM), UTF-7, ANSI, ISO-8859-2, "Windows default". Possible special characters in my password: Polish letter "ł/Ł" and  tilde key "`".

6. Every time exhausted! Even when I'll set on new wallet four-characters password and run 
Code:
-m 11300 wallet.hash -a 3 pas?l

Any suggestions at this moment?
Or what can I add here to show more specific information?

I will be appreciate.

Best Regards.
