bitcracker VS brainflayer

Clean reinstall. Or try bitcracker : https://github.com/e-ago/bitcracker

This is correct, you can bypass Bitlocker if it uses a password instead of or in addition to the 48-digit encryption key. You're looking for this: https://github.com/e-ago/bitcracker unless there's a newer version. This is what I've used in the past.

but yeah, as the others have said you can definitely mount a windows drive on linux. I prefer using gparted cause you can visualize the partitions, but testdisk and photorec can also provide insights into the partition sizes and can do full data recovery on the non-encrypted partitions. This also looks pretty promising, but from my experience, you'll probably have to set up a dedicated machine up for running it... I'm guessing about 7-8 weeks to run it on, also guessing it's about 128gb drive / iso: https://github.com/e-ago/bitcracker These are just guess on the performance though, that I'm basing on previous experiments from scrubbing drives in the past...

So I decided to buy it, since I think 30 bucks is a fair price, even though it might just be a fancy wrapper for the open source bitcracker (I can't be bothered to create my own dictionary files and BitLocker Password is really easy with this).

You could try BitCracker (https://github.com/e-ago/bitcracker) - it is a brute force password attack tool (open source).

For pre-HD wallets, see brainflayer https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

If you want to use a password like this consider a key derivation function like pbkdf2. (This does not make it safe but you begin to stray away from old brain wallets that are all compromised already see https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer )

Your wording attempts to fool people into using brainwallets by appealing to ego. Nobody has the ability to make a passphrase from their brain with sufficient entropy to be secure. Stop promoting insecure methods https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

Brainflayer is a Proof-of-Concept brainwallet cracking tool

Brainflayer is still running, but does not find new keys because the whole world switched to deterministic wallets https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

Brainflayer discovers single keys created by hashing low-entropy "brain passwords". It pre-dates HD wallets, pre-dates SegWit https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

For fun, read about brainflayer https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

Brainwallet normally means something easy to remember, and therefore easy to brute force. See brainflayer, a tool for stealing coins from brainwallets https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer

People don't talk about brain wallets because nobody uses the same definition. The commonly accepted definition, from when they were popular, is "easy to remember, easy to steal". See brainflayer https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer
