btcrecover
BTCRecover is an open source wallet password and seed recovery tool. For seed based recovery, this is primarily useful in situations where you have lost/forgotten parts of your mnemonic, or have made an error transcribing it. (So you are either seeing an empty wallet or gettign an error that your seed is invalid) For wallet password or passphrase recovery, it is primarily useful if you have a reasonable idea about what your password might be.

Seed working but not displaying bitcoin
Edit: I GOT IT!!!, had to use https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/. Turns out I had the wrong word. Thank you u/Crypto-Guide, you are a lifesaver. My week just got a whole lot better.

Sound off if you have atomic wallet and your coins are still there.
I'm not aware of any such list, and I don't think atomic has even disclosed all of their derivation paths. For example the derivation path to ethereum had to be reverse-engineered, it is possible to get the private key to ethereum address made with atomic using the recovery software btcrecover. However it can be a little painful to get running and the documentation is quite extensive because it caters to so many different wallets.

Is multisig safer?
BTCRecover (https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/) does this (I maintain the tool), basically something like an M1 Mac can easily check about 200,000 seeds per second.

The story of how I recovered my buddy's mnemonic phrase for his validator.
Also, for anyone without your coding skills, BTCRecover is a free open-source program from /u/Crypto-Guide that traces its origins nearly a decade.

Help a buddy out, please!
One of the most used and trusted tools for this is btcrecover (current fork of 3rdIteration). It can run offline if you are concerned about security, but it's not the most user-friendly tool.
- $100 in ETH if you guess the order of my seed phrase (24 words)

Hidden Wallet and 0 funds
You can try and go it manually, but if you get fed up with that then you can also use tools like BTCRecover to attempt to speed up checking https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/ (I also have a bunch of videos about it on my channel)

Friend forgot his PIN we recovered his Trezor but the Founds are gone
You need to be sure you have the right seed... The passphrase is easy to mess up, so you can try a bunch of things by hand or use BTCRecover to help test a bunch of seeds very quickly. (https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/)

where can I download software on PC to brute force bitcoin? just for the fun to try
That said there is software for making vanity addresses (eg addresses starting with a prefix you want like 1Boat) https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus You could give this thing whole addresses. But that chance of finding the private key for an address is essentially zero.

The 32 BTC puzzle now stands at ~$4 Million. No one has cracked it
Vanity gen has a mode (-Z) where you can specify the private key prefix. One could play the lottery without writing any code themselves. https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus
