Will not crack wallet.aes.json with password known

[azjnson]

I created a new wallet on block chain and used the used the download-blockchain-wallet.py to create the wallet.aes.json file. I then put my password in to the token list as 3 parts and ran the software and it failed to find the password. Shouldn't this find the password? See my post below for issues I was seeing on the all test script. Thank you for your support.

Try to put your pass and its variations separadetly but all in the same line.

I put the password as one word just like I enter it on the web site and it still fails.

This is the command I am using is this correct?

And in the website is working normally? You sure there are no typos? Caps? Lowercase?

If this isn't the case, only @gurnec can help you out.

I copied it directly.. the format is like 1234#Abcdefgr#4321 Could there be something in the formatting? I tried it on two different computers and it is the same. J

You sure you're using the right .json file? The one really connected to this password?

I'm out of alternatives, let's wait for some mod to help you out.

[azjnson]

Yes it it the correct .json file. I dragged it from the directory to the blockchain site and opened it with the password. Hopefully someone can help me with this.....

[gurnec]

Sorry, but I can't reproduce this.

I signed up for a new Blockchain.info account using the password 1234#Abcdefgr#4321, downloaded the wallet.aes.json file using the download-blockchain-wallet.py script and the wallet identifier, created a token file containing only the password, and ran btcrecover and received the correct results:

Starting btcrecover 0.17.9 on Python 2.7.14 64-bit, 16-bit unicodes, 32-bit ints
Wallet difficulty: 5,000 PBKDF2-SHA1 iterations

Password found: '1234#Abcdefgr#4321'

Do you have a pound/hash # symbol at the beginning of your password or of any tokens? A # symbol introduces an ignored comment if (and only if) it is the very first character on a line, e.g. this tokens file:

1234
#Abcdefgr
#4321

only has one token, and two ignored comments in it. See the third paragraph here for more details.

If that's not it, then I'm not sure what's going on. Did you do anything differently than the steps I did above when you tested? You said that

the format is like 1234#Abcdefgr#4321

Is that the actual password you used, or was it something else?

[azjnson]

The steps you out lined above are what I did but it would not find the password. So I created a new wallet on the Blockchain.info site with the same password as the last one. I then did the exact same procedure and it worked with this new wallet.

Next I used the script to again download the wallet.aes.json file of the wallet that the password could not be found. I tried the exact same token file and it will not find the password of this .json file.

So for some reason it will not work on this one file.

Finally the question about the password I used. the password is not exactly 1234#Abcdefgr#4321

It is 4 numbers then # followed by a Capitalized word then # then 4 numbers.

If you like the account was using to test the software is a burner so I could send you more precise info for you to try. I just don't want to post it here for everyone to see. Thanks, J

@azjnson I MIGHT be in the same situation. I know my pass. I have the .json. And it doesn't work. But it doesn't work in blockchain.info login too.

I have the feeling there is some bug in the download script. I have one blockchain wallet (from 2015) with a known password (I can login) but after downloading it with the script, btcrecover will not work. On another, new created wallet it is working. Is there any other script out there to download a blockchain-wallet?

@gurnec it depends what version the wallet is. We have seen known issues with old .info wallets because it looks for an identifier that is not in old ones (hence false neg)
