Hey everyone,
I've got the first nine characters of my second password down, and I know the exact capitalization of the letters. The last two characters of those first nine are numbers, and I suspect the missing 7-9 characters have some repeated digits. I tried using these hints with wildcards, but it seems like btcrecover only attempts 4 or 5 combinations:
^1^ASDFGHj
12%7,9d
Should I also factor in possible typos? I'd really appreciate any advice.
Lost last 7-9 digits of my second Blockchain password

Are you trying to brute force the blockchain wallet backup in JSON format?
You might be using an old version of BTCrecover which is why it only tries 4 to 5 times.
Try this one https://github.com/3rdIteration/btcrecover
Also, check the usage sample here https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Usage_Examples/2020-05-08_Recovering_Blockchain_Wallet_Passwords/Example_Recovering_Blockchain_Wallet_Passwords/
If this is a blockchain wallet why not recover your wallet with your backup seed phrase?
I think it is better to hire professional recovery services because it's hard to guess 7 or 9 characters.
You can find the official thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240779.0
Hi, Its better to extract the hash and use hashcat. You can find it here: https://hashcat.net/hashcat/
Looking at your password ^ is a character that sometimes gets interpreted differently depending on your keyboard setup.
If you want to stick with btcrecover try --typos-insert and --max-typos-insert
Good luck!

Have you used --passwordlist intead of --token?
If so, it could be the reason for the very small iterations which is as much line as the passwordlist, if not used with certain "typo" args.
Your choices are either:
Use --token your-tokens.txt ∙ then use the same "your-tokens.txt" in your example.Use --passwordlist your-passwordlist.txt --has-wildcards ∙ then use a single line of "your-passwordlist.txt" instead: ASDFGHj12%7,9d
