How to brute force KeePassXC

How to brute force KeePassXC

I’ve tried it and it does work, but you’ll need and idea on what the password looked like, for example key words, length and other features

What you’ll need:

  1. Linux OS. I used Kali Linux inside VirtualBox

  2. To create the worldlist i used mentalist (it creates passwords with key words) or type it by hand

  3. To share the wordlist and the .kdbx (keepass database) create a shared folder ( <VM’s name> – settings – shared folders)

  4. Get keepass4brute (Linux only):

  5. Open a terminal window.

  6. Update the package list by running the command sudo apt-get update
    .

  7. Install the necessary dependencies by running the command sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip libssl-dev
    .

  8. Use pip3 to install the package by running the command pip3 install keepass4brute
    .

  9. Verify the installation by running the command keepass4brute -h
    to see if it returns the help menu.

OR download it from here. You still need to to 1, 2 and 3

  1. Copy or cut the folders inside the shared folder and paste it on the desktop or anywhere else but remember the path.

  2. Open terminal windows and write: /keepass4brute.sh <kdbx-file> <wordlist>

Example

In the end it will show you the right password.
