My AES256 encryption password is 15 characters. The password uses upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers. I can remember the first 7 characters of the password, but I have forgotten the last 8 characters which are all digits.

To retrieve the password, I'm planning to use brute force using Python to get the last 8 digits, is this possible?

  • 8 digits might be a date (YYYYMMDD or MMDDYYYY etc) so I would try some birthdays, anniversaries etc.

8 digits, assuming you mean decimal digits, only have 100000000 possible values.

That's trivial to brute-force.
