Geth Ethereum Keystore password recovery
#1
Hello-  I have a small amount of Ethereum that I mined back in 2017-2018 using a GETH wallet I created.  I believe my wife accidently threw away my password that I wrote on a bill for this wallet.  I do have the keystore file backed up.

I used this link to create my keystore hash

https://stealthsploit.com/2017/06/12/eth...-cracking/

I set my txt file up in a similar way except I used "262144" instead of 1024 for the N value

I created a password txt file using several combinations of passwords I used from back then

I'm using hashcat 6.2.6 and windows 11

I've opened a terminal in hashcat and tried a few of the commands I've found out there and added my hash.txt and password.txt in the line but just had a series of errors that do not work

Honestly, I was able to build 4 ETh mining rigs but I have not a clue what I am doing in trying to crack this password.  

Any suggestions on how I should enter my command line in hashcat?

Thank you, LC
