ethcracker runs and immediately generates garbage output? #25

Closed jsgithub2018 closed 6 years ago

Hi,

When I run "ethcracker -pk ~\mywallet.txt -t ~\mytemplate.txt -threads 4" it immediately generates an "ethcracker" output file that is largely unreadable (binary/hex) about 6MB in size.

I assume the output should contain my password if everything worked ok. Is there a sample output (A test wallet and template would be great). I also assume it should take some time to process before giving an output, so this seems more like an error output to me.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, Jeff

Hmm... can I see at least the beginning of the output?

Hi,

See attached (1st 40 lines of output file). ethcracker4Alex.txt

I simply renamed my ethereum keystore file to 'mywallet.txt'. I do have a parenthesis and other special characters in my template (I saw a reference that parenthesis may cause a problem with ethcracker?). But I know the password I'm trying to recover had parenthesis in it....

Thanks, Jeff ethcracker4Alex.txt

parenthesis should not be a problem

Nevermind. I'm an idiot. Was just following the readme directly but I'm on a windows box, so I need to use the ethcracker211.exe as the executable, not ethcracker by itself. Sorry for the fuss. Program works great on my test wallet. Now I need lots of processing time to figure out my real wallet password.
