Bitcoin Clipper
Working Bitcoin Clipper malware created in Python that can change addresses in sentences or just an address by itself, fast and efficient so it always works before the address is pasted.
My investigation of this type of Malware can be found here along with a useful tutorial on how to setup the project:

About
Bitcoin Clipper malware is a type of malware that waits until a user copies a Bitcoin address to their clipboard, it then verifies that it is not just a string of words and it is infact a Bitcoin Address or close to one and then it switches that address for our new Bitcoin address.
CyberCriminals use this type of malware because it is hard to detect by anti-virus as it is not doing anything but checking and changing the content on the users clipboard. However this allows CyberCriminals to make money without users realising to fast.

OR
python3 clipper.pyNOTE:
The Bitcoin Clipper works however it is supposed to be a proof of concept, please do not use this with intent to actually make money from this, I have not added instructions on how to compile the malware to try and prevent people from trying to use this in some sort of production enviroment, please ONLY use it on your OWN Computer as compiling it and spreading it is against the law.
