#2I can recommend Hashcat, used it myself for cracking bitcoin wallet using multiple GPUs. Great tool if you forget your password and it works with so many applications/file formats.

I thought cracking a bitcoin wallet was technically beyond the limitations of today's computing power??

If you have enough of the bitcoin wallet, cracking the rest is possible with todays resources.
If he was able to crack any random bitcoin wallet, I don't think he'd be sharing it on this website.

You need the entire encrypted wallet so you can extract the password hash from it even then you need to know your password to the point of only 3-4 variable chars to be able to effectively crack it or use a pretty simple password that is either moderately short Witt a small key space or is in a dictionary.

#7I made this a while back to ease the barrier to entry to Hashcat: https://github.com/brannondorsey/naive-hashcat
Not that it's that big of a barrier, but it can be somewhat daunting to new password crackers.

Cracking the private key of a bitcoin address is beyond todays computing power.
I think the scenario here is that he had an encrypted wallet file that he didn't have the password for. In that case, cracking it is only as hard as the password (in other words, relatively easy if he remembers the enough about his password).

#9When I was in undergraduate engineering (~3 years ago), hashcat was actually a key part of some great computer security assignments. I'm happy to see it's updated, although it was pretty solid when I had to use it!

I had encrypted wallet.dat file.
