Re: OpenSSL error message when decrypting Ethereum encrypted private key

[Chris B <cryptoassetrecovery@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rich,

Thank you very much for the reply.

I get the same error message using -aes256 as -aes-256-cbc

/usr/bin/openssl enc -d -aes256 -a -in enc_private_key.txt -out recovered.key -pass pass:TheBig7ebowski

bad decrypt

140383648536480:error:0606506D:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:wrong final block length:evp_enc.c:581:

Thanks,
Chris

For CBC the encrypted text will be a multiple of the cipher size.  So your use of CBC is wrong.  The quoted post uses aes256; you were using aes-cbc
