Code:python bitcoin2john.py wallet.dat
the output of this python script execution is the "hash" that must be provided to hashcat.
You should save the output of the command above to a file called hash.txt (make sure that it doesn't contain any file names, the hash should be similar to the one mentioned here: https://hashcat.net/wiki/example_hashes , search for -m 11300)
after that you should run your tests like this:
Code:hashcat -m 11300 -a 0 -w 3 hash.txt dict.txt
The file dict.txt should contain the password of your test wallet (for which you know the password).
Okay! I just ran my test on the new wallet and got the hash from John The Ripper - it worked!. Only thing is, my dict.txt only contained the password, not a big character set.
I'm ready to try on my real wallet now, but since the password I THINK it is isn't working, do I need to build an actual dict.txt or can I just use the question mark commands '?a' for example to have it.
