# Ethereum Keystore Password Recovery Tool
## Overview
The Ethereum Keystore Password Recovery Tool is a desktop application designed to help users recover lost or forgotten passwords for Ethereum keystore files. The tool uses a combination of password patterns and character substitutions to generate potential password combinations and attempts to decrypt the keystore file using these combinations. The application is built with a modern user interface and supports multi-threading for faster password recovery.
## Features
- **Modern UI**: Built using customtkinter for a sleek and user-friendly interface.
- **Multi-threading**: Utilizes multiple CPU cores to speed up the password recovery process.
- **Password Patterns**: Allows users to define password patterns with wildcards (`*`) for flexible password generation.
- **Character Substitutions**: Supports common character substitutions (e.g., `a → @`, `i → 1`) to increase the chances of finding the correct password.
- **Progress Tracking**: Displays real-time progress, including the number of passwords tried, speed, and estimated time remaining.
- **Output Log**: Provides detailed logs of the recovery process, including any errors or successful password recovery.
## How It Works
1. **Select Keystore File**: The user selects an Ethereum keystore file (JSON format) that they want to recover the password for.
2. **Define Password Patterns**: The user inputs password patterns, which can include wildcards (`*`) to represent variable parts of the password. For example, `password*123` could generate passwords like `password123`, `password@123`, etc.
3. **Configure Options**: The user can configure the number of threads to use (based on CPU cores), enable character substitutions, and choose whether to display verbose output.
4. **Start Recovery**: The tool generates all possible password combinations based on the provided patterns and substitutions, then attempts to decrypt the keystore file using these passwords.
5. **Monitor Progress**: The user can monitor the progress in real-time, including the number of passwords tried, the speed of recovery, and the estimated time remaining.
6. **Password Found**: If the correct password is found, it is displayed in the output log and copied to the clipboard.
## How to Use (Executable Version)
1. **Download the Executable**: Download the `.exe` file from the release section or the provided link.
2. **Run the Executable**: Double-click the `.exe` file to launch the Ethereum Keystore Password Recovery Tool.
3. **Select Keystore File**: Click the "Browse" button to select your Ethereum keystore file (JSON format).
4. **Enter Password Patterns**: In the "Password Patterns" section, enter the password patterns you want to try. Use `*` as a wildcard for variable parts of the password.
5. **Configure Options**: Adjust the number of threads, enable/disable character substitutions, and choose whether to show detailed output.
6. **Start Recovery**: Click the "Start Recovery" button to begin the password recovery process.
7. **Monitor Progress**: The progress bar and statistics will update in real-time as the tool tries different password combinations.
8. **Password Found**: If the password is found, it will be displayed in the output log and copied to the clipboard.
