Tron (TRX) Keystore help!
#1
I have a question if you can break the keystore tronsacan.org I'm putting a sample:

{"version":1,"key":"eaf5bb2aedc093f307a4c643676e614def123d6a0da47f5100278eaded71aa9788c4b5e4a131d77eb9eb6e7a50b88c7b6df54b1c746cd55b80bebd129a2c5f4e","address": "TCyg4cCNN6STzZm5ajaNPbbmytSEvPLmYA","salt":"3b08e023-32a3-48b8-a1a9-429f89838704"}

The key is SHA512, no hashcat modes between 1700 and 1760 work anyone knows ?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Cracking cryptocurrency wallets requires a lot more than just calculating a simple hash. Unless it's explicitly implemented for your type of wallet (it's not) you won't be able to attack it with hashcat.

In order to implement it, a lot of details would be needed:
1. how does key calculation work? (simply "something with sha512" doesn't cut it)
2. how is the public key derived from the calculated (private) key?
3. how to compare the address with the public key?

Thank you for responding, the ethereum/bitcoin has somehow been handled and I do not have the data listed :/
