Hi guys,

I know the reward isn't much, but it's just for helping me understand the correct commands, it will be paid regardless of if I find the passphrase.

---------

I have my old blockchain.info wallet backup file "wallet.aes.json"

Here is some part of the file content:
Code:
{"pbkdf2_iterations":5000,"version":2,"payload":"l5jljwAmAZrWx32WXXvIu6bwjDKhgDDo+yIXkKYt8zfalwlW/6sdFK/NeZCUrIxmAFZT5DIWXV0OE7kc+wHwjn2Nz/rIlS0tJHNUaCQ0cP1HMYhkjqRKghsn5epEoPt/4lAPA=="}

I know my primary password, and part of my secondary password.

I need a tool that can iterate between characters quickly (password is like ~15-20 chars long and I have the first 11 characters, I know it is alphanumeric only, all lowercase)

I have downloaded "btcrecover", ran the tests using this command in Terminal (I don't use Windows OS):
Code:
python run-all-tests.py

The tests are okay, but I'm not sure on how to proceed now?

I tried the script on "extract-scripts/extract-blockchain-second-hash.py" and after entering my correct primary password, here is the result:

Code:
Blockchain second password hash, salt, and iter_count in base64:

Now do I use this second password hash somehow or I need to use another method with my "wallet.aes.json"?
