Great, that's running now. Thanks Revalin!
So when it's gone through them all I'll either get a "success: your password is: dontbeanidiot" or "no luck"?
EDIT: I still get "Incorrect RPC user/pass" even when starting bitcoind as "bitcoind -rpcpassword=rpc-pass". I renamed bitcoin.conf to bitcoin.conf.old like you said (in linux)
I've got it running on my windows machine, but it won't run in my ubuntu VM properly. I want to run it in the VM as it may take a while, and I can save the state of the VM and safely reboot my computer without losing the progress.
I misspoke in my write up. The rpc password
is in the config file but i
did not add it to the ruby script. I could not get it to run if I did. I do not understand the reasoning but that is how it worked for me. I have edited it.
Yeah alright, so what I did to get it running was to have the line "$rpc_pass = "rpc-pass"" in brute.rb and then start bitcoind as "bitcoind -rpcpassword=rpc-pass".
Is there any way to make the script not check passwords with spaces between them?
