btcrecover Typos Quick Start Guide

If you only have a single (or just a few) passwords that you'd like to apply some typos to, you can use the following table to pick a set of typos command-line options with which to run btcrecover.

The leftmost column contains the command-line options, with a full set of options on each row (if the options for a row is blank, they're the same as the row above). As a general rule, each successive row of options will try a larger set of typos than the preceding row. You should select a row which includes the same type of wallet you intend to test, along with a password length that's similar to your password(s). The columns on the right will give you a rough estimate of how many password variations there are and of how long btcrecover will take to check the variations (per input password to be tested).

Typos Maps

The btcrecover package includes a few typos-map example files in this directory. One of them, us-with-shifts-map.txt, is used in the Quick Start suggestions above.

  • us-map.txt - For each key on a standard US ANSI ASCII keyboard, this typos-map file will try an adjacent key to test the case where your finger may have slipped one position while typing a password. This typos-map is only intended for testing passwords which do not contain any shifted letters or symbols.

  • us-with-shifts-map.txt - Just like us-map.txt, except that this typos-map is intended for testing passwords which do contain shifted letters or symbols. In most cases, this typos-map should be used in combination with either the --typos-case or the --typos-closecase option.

  • leet-map.txt - This typos-map tests passwords by replacing letters with their leetspeak version(s) (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet for more information).

  • leet-uncommon-map.txt - Just like leet-map.txt, except this typos-map contains additional less-common replacements.
