Ethereum ICO wallet, brute forcing password
#1
Hello guys,

A friend of mine has an Ethereum ICO wallet format, which he has lost its password. I have not been able to use Hashcat to recover the password because the format is different form the UTC wallet format.

Does anyone know how I can convert this ICO walet json file to UTC (version 3 keystore file) or is there a way I can use Hashcat on this ICO wallet to brute force the password.

My Thought:
Here is a piece of code which is using ethereumjs-wallet lib

I don't know how I can leverage Hashcat password combination mechanism to brute force the wallet using the above method.
