what was it that you had stored in lastpass?

Actually I thought that address was the wallet I was using. From the blockchain explorer looks like not.

Try advanced zip password recovery. It's nice to have the beginning ( if you know for sure ). You can make that a prefix and pick what characters were in it.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. For now I think this all may end up taking more time than it's worth.

I believe I used 7zip.

I do remember the beginning of the password. I even named the zip file to remind me of it. I just don't remember what came after it.

I may have used 7zip but it's in zip format. Crark-7z says it won't accept it because it's not in 7zip format.

Looks like it's guess and check for me.

What software did you use to zip the files? Some older standards have weak encryption.

If you used strong encryption such as Winrar 3's AES, you're out of luck if you don't remember any partial password. Its hard enough to break an 8 char password, even with OpenC/CUDA accelerated cracker. Much less an entire phrase.

probably a full passphrase

You for real? Probably? Lips sealed
If that's the best guess you have about your password things don't look promising.

It was probably a full passphrase. So, long.

So a while back I took my Bitcoins and zipped them in nested zip files. And I can't remember the password.

I'm running Linux. Anyone know a good password cracker? Or, a way to recover my Bitcoins? I have a wallet address in my LastPass, will that help me get things back?
