Bug#951539: ITP: bruteforce-wallet -- Try to find a password of a encrypted wallet file
Hello Sam, I'm gonna assume that the full description of the package addresses the issue of describing which wallets does it works with and sponsor the upload for Francisco. Please feel free to suggest a change to the short description, if you think that should be changed as well (we can always change it later). Regards, -- Samuel Henrique
Bug#951539: ITP: bruteforce-wallet -- Try to find a password of a encrypted wallet file
Hi Sam Hartman, The description looks like this: Description: Try to find the password of an encrypted wallet file bruteforce-wallet try to find the password of an encrypted Peercoin (or Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc...) wallet file. It can be used in two ways: . - Try all possible passwords given a charset. - Try all passwords in a file (dictionary). . bruteforce-wallet have the following features: . - You can specify the number of threads to use when cracking a file. - Sending a USR1 signal to a running bruteforce-wallet process makes it print progress and continue. - There are an exhaustive mode and a dictionary mode. . In the exhaustive mode the program tries to decrypt one of the ecrypted addresses in the wallet by trying all the possible passwords. It is especially useful if you know something about the password (i.e. you forgot a part of your password but still remember most of it). Finding the password of a wallet without knowing anything about it would take way too much time (unless the password is really short and/or weak). There are some command line options to specify: . - The minimum password length to try. - The maximum password length to try. - The beginning of the password. - The end of the password. - The character set to use (among the characters of the current locale). . In dictionary mode the program tries to decrypt one of the encrypted addresses in the wallet by trying all the passwords contained in a file. The file must have one password per line. . This package is useful for finding the password for a Peercoin encrypted wallet file (or Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc ...) (i.e. wallet.dat). -- Francisco Vilmar Cardoso Ruviaro 4096R: 1B8C F656 EF3B 8447 2F48 F0E7 82FB F706 0B2F 7D00

Might I suggest that wallet is kind of generic and I'm aware of a number of different tools out there that claim to be wallets of various kinds. I think the description should do a better job of scoping which wallets this is good for.

Hi. I'm packing the bruteforce-wallet. The only things that are missing are a proper man page and the upstream add the openSSL exception for GPL3 +. I have these two lintian warnings: E: bruteforce-wallet: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl W: bruteforce-wallet: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/bruteforce-wallet I submitted a license update request at https://github.com/glv2/bruteforce-wallet/issues/26 to fix this.
