Umbrel Crashed - Missing one word in seed phrase

hapta · August 24, 2022, 11:43am

Hello,

My umbrel crashed fews weeks ago with some BTC on it.
I tried to recover by using the 24 words but i juste realised one word is missing.

Is there any way to get back this word ?
I’m kind of desperate.

Can someone Help me ?
Thanks in advance !

If you know the exact position of the missing word, one way is to brute force the word list below around 2073 times

github.com

lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/aezeed/wordlist.go

package aezeed

import (
	"strings"
)

var (
	// ReverseWordMap maps a word to its position within the default word list.
	ReverseWordMap map[string]int
)

func init() {
	ReverseWordMap = make(map[string]int)
	for i, v := range DefaultWordList {
		ReverseWordMap[v] = i
	}
}

// DefaultWordList is a slice of the current default word list that's used to
// encode the enciphered seed into a human readable set of words.

A friend of mine found a solution even if the missing word place is not known.
Contact me if you need help.

@hapta Can you please share the solution with me? I got the same problem.

@lost_knight Can you please tell me how I can bruteforce it with your wordlist.go? I know the position of the word.

Thanks!
