  Righto, well let's assume the password format you've suggested is correct. The hashcat command to attack it should be:. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to make a specified wordlist?

  IIRC (and this is knowledge from a few years ago, when I was more involved in things), Hashcat has the ability to do variations. It can also use your GPU instead of just the CPU so that you can make an absurd number of guesses per second. (Like really, really absurd). Source: about 1 year ago

• frozenkrill: a minimalist Bitcoin wallet focused on cold storage

  Regarding argon2 vs scrypt: there is still no GPU implementation (AFAIK) for argon2id while scrypt has a very efficient implementation on hashcat (https://hashcat.net/hashcat/) and probably on ASICs. Source: about 1 year ago

• A Device I Don’t Recognize Was Connected to My IOT SSID, the Password Was Too Long to Brute Force. What Am I Seeing Here?

  I’m glad you’ve solved this, but I wanted to point out that very few people brute force WiFi passwords. Usually they’ll use tools like https://hashcat.net/hashcat/ in dictionary mode and combine it with common phrases, common passwords, and mix in some mutations (like searching for simple changes such as “P@$$w0rd” that people think make their password stronger, but actually are relatively easy to guess.

• old protected zip files -- looking to try many passwords automatically

• Bruteforce File locker's master password

  If you really want to brute this thing, as /u/bobzombieslayer mentioned, you'll need to extract either the key that's been hidden/hashed, or some encrypted data, and turn that into something that John the Ripper or Hashcat can work on. And then let those run. But if it's 10+ digits with letters/numbers, that may be effectively impossible to brute, it'll be faster to disassemble the program and figure out how it...

• Discussion about local saving data for a program that uses sockets

  2) Saving it encrypted in a file (txt/binary/etc...) not to mention if it's symmetrical or asymmetric encryption or even just going xor on the data it gives 2 problems, if it's an open source program you can just read how it was saved, there are programs that open encryption no matter what like HashCat so if anyone gets the file it will take time to crack but if the user won't change it password it will reveled.
