Jnkz commented 7 years ago

Hello, i'm writing to you because i'm not really confortable to use linux and i have a lot of difficulties to run this. I got a windows 10 pc, so i installed a virtual machine on it using Ubuntu. Butn when i follow all the step to configure, i got a lot of errors, i can't ./autogen.sh , ./configure and make install . The errors coming, are "no permissions" "symbol not expected" "autoreconf not finded". When i use ./configure, is not finding something to run, so i try ./configure.ac as the named file, and now is trying to run but i have the message "symbol not expected" (sorry for the translation of the errors messages)

What i have to do? I want to brute force my one year old ether wallet.

Thank's and sorry for my english

To compile the program on Ubuntu, you need to install some basic development packages:

sudo apt install build-essential openssl-dev

However, this program only works for the wallet format used by Bitcoin-core and the crypto-currencies who forked the Bitcoin source code. It will not work with an Ethereum wallet because the source code base is different.

Ok, i saw another issue where was said something can be rewrited to run this for ethereum, but must be too hard for me. Do you know another program dedicated to ether wallets?

@glv2 I am getting similar issue trying to install on Ubuntu - trying to recover lost litcoin password. 

ubuntu@ip-172-26-3-74:~/bruteforce-wallet-master$ sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev

Note libssl-dev used as replacement for openssl-dev as per http://www.techietown.info/2017/05/install-openssl-devel-ubuntu-using-apt-get/

Also tried sudo apt install build-essential libdb-dev as per https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/trying-to-install-berkeleydb-from-commandline-on-ubuntu-4175619375/
