Here's a zip with a password generator given the password you know. There's a readme inside with instructions and more info.

What it contains:
A java program that generates a bunch of possibilities > Write all the possibilities to a .txt file.
A powershell script that tries these (original by 2112).

As for mac users, google: Powershell Mac

Hello Rahazan!
I believe i really need your help with my bitcoin wallet.
I am afraid I am a total noob at computers. I bought some bitcoins - 2.62BTC and encrypted my wallet.
I remember I typed a password on txt file then copypasted it. But on some reasons i can't unblock my wallet now.
Can you please try to use your script and open it? I suggest you to take half of the sum - 1.31 BTC when you succeed on that. I guess it's quite a fair deal.
If you agree I can send you on PM my saved password and bitcoin address and whatever info else you need.
Best regards


Hey there,

The script at the moment is meant for people who forgot a part of their password, or don't know the order of certain parts. I've been thinking of writing a program to generate a list with variations of a given passphrase (one letter in wrong case, extra letter). At the moment the script is not very suitable for doing these kinds of attempts. I'll start writing it, but I'm not making any promises as I'm doing it in my spare time Wink. I guess with a couple of hours I could make a working version.

Regards,
Rahazan

Every time it adds words from the word list, it places a symbol between them, and it doesn't try to add the words together without anything in them.

I have 4 words, but 7 total because three of them have capitalization variances.

1 symbol.

And between 2-4 numbers randomly in there.

For instance:

When I put that all in (with only "2" as the max number count), it generates ONLY 24 possibly passwords. Minimum 10 char, max 21. It didn't even put in any numbers, and all the potential passwords had 2 symbols in them.

 Huh

Well, I found the error. It turns out, that after adding a symbol it would call the function with the algorithm with one less parameter than expected. Instead of throwing an error, powershell defaulted to 0..

Here is a fixed version with a DEBUG mode, which you can enable (will probably make you understand how the passphrases are generated), note that it will slow it down quite a bit as printing takes up quite some time for a computer.

Also added an improvement where if the word is already max length, it will no longer add anything to it (and then find out it's too long anyway).

Sorry about not seeing this mistake :/..

There was a bug in the script, where passes containing a "$" would not properly be tested.

Ah, how could I not have thought of this :/, it's because in this language $ is used to indicate a variable (and if a variable $abcd doesn't exist it will just be empty). I made a fix to it, a $-containing pass will not print in the long list of passphrases it is going to try, but it will try it now.

Thanks for noting this!

Note how the strings are now using single quotes, not dual quotes, so you will have to re-do your settings I'm afraid.

Hey everybody,

Sorry for not responding to the PMs, I didn´t even notice I got them (notification e-mail ended up in my junkbox..). I have updated the script to pause when the correct passphrase is found.
Here is the link to the new script: http://pastebin.com/FDG9gRQw.

If you need a know other things about your pass and wish to see a script don't be afraid to reply to this thread or PM.

Any luck?

Not yet, it's still calculating possibilities! Smiley I may have set a parameter wrong.

Does it calculate every position for the symbol, words, and numbers? I ran it once, it didn't find it. Sad I changed some parameters, I think it'll hit it!

Well yes, it should create every possible order of the elements you put into each of the arrays.. I am afraid your password is simply not what you think it is?

Lucky you Wink. I think everybody who has coins stashed away will be remembered by the vast media coverage at the moment.

I am in the process of creating a powershell script for https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85495.120 (last request).
It is nearing completion, unfortunately I can not post there yet as I do not meet the requirements to get out of this newbie subforum yet.

You should check the temperature of your GPU just to be certain it is not overheating!

You can also use 7zip to encrypt the .dat file. Remember to update your backups at least once every 100 transactions!
