Is it possible to crack up an ethereum wallet by just knowing it's public address and cracking it's password?

or do you need the json files / private key aswell?

public address + private key. If all computer power on earth was determined to crack one btc wallet it would take more than 3.5 times the history of the universe.

okay i see

so basically you need to either get the json file or private key to hack a wallet

and since many people in the past have had their wallets hacked, there must have been a way to get the file or private key somehow

how do i protect myself against this?

i currently have my ethereumwallet.exe file encrypted with a 30 long password (so im sure that a hacker program cant just open the wallet and gather informations about it from the inside).

and the wallet itself has a 24 long password

the backup json files is also encrypted on different offline drives (ext harddrive, usb and an offline computer)

is there more i can do other than keeping my pc clean of keyloggers n stuff?

i heard there's some kind of RPC port that is vulnerable for some reason.

That's not by "hacking". That's either by malware, an exchange scamming you or something.

okay i see desu

just heard on reddit that you can use some kind of RPC port to make the wallet feed data to the hacker, if it's unlocked, and transfer the ethers to them
