Hello Guys,
i'm glad to join this community, so here is my question :
I would like to know which one is the best and effective (and fastest maybe) method to recover a password from my old wallet.dat file (BTC) ?
Here is what i did :
Download the latest version of Hashcat, download python, then i copy pasted the bitcoin2john script into a new text file, then i used this script (which i found here : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openwa...in2john.py) to create a walletHASH.txt file from my wallet.dat...
then i use this HASH file with this command :
hashcat-6.2.1>hashcat -a 3 -m 11300 wallethash2.txt ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a --increment --increment-min 1
i totally forgot my password as it's a very old wallet file which i found on an old HDD.
my question is, is this method i used one of the best way ? because i also saw that there are other attack modes, and also dictionary file, and rules files....
i found this file right here but i don't know if it's better than using a simple bruteforce from hashcat ??
Here is the rule file : https://notsosecure.com/one-rule-to-rule-them-all/
and here the rockyou dictionary file : downloads.skullsecurity.org/passwords/rockyou.txt.bz2
Please guys if you have any advices it would be very cool to know !
BTW i'm using an RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU.
I don't remember nothing from the password.
Big thanks !
