my electrum wallet of 2016
#5
So i will reply myself and anyone who find this post.

I found the real wallet.dat of my electrum wallet with the xprv key. I learned that, althoght my wallet is not encryptet, the xprv and the seed are. So I found electrum2john.py which should generate me the hash for hascat mode 16600. But it would should be to easy to just run the script. The error message tells me, my salt is not supported.

Further investigations helped me and I have tried to add my seed (no. 33 and not 10, 11 or 12 as it is in the script). I appended it to the 3 seeds to avoid the error being triggerd. That worked for me and I finally got my 16600 has value for electrum 2 wallet.

But here I am with the next problem. This time I might really need detailed help....

I remember the chars and the word I have used for my password generation. It includes the german small äöü and maybe the french ç symbols.
I have tried to test if I can crack an example hash. With the help of sha1generator.de I got the hash for öäü.

The hashvalue I copy pasted in Windows 10 Editor and made sure to save it with utf8. On my laptop I use hascat in windows.
I have tried a mask attack with the 3 different german charsets.
hashcat.exe -a 3 -m 100 -1 \charsets\standard\German\.... .hcchr ?1?1?1

To my surprise this did not crack the hash. I made sure the äöü letters were within these files.

I then created my own hcchr file, added the äöü letters and saved it with utf8 format. I was surprised it did not crack the hash!
So I have tried the --encoding-from=utf-8 and the encoding-to=utf8 option. The hash could not be cracked.

As last try I used the ?b?b?b mask which did not end positive.

Can someone please give me a hint? What do I miss here?

I do not have to start cracking my old electrum wallet if I am not able to use the special cahrs....
