Bruteforce dictionary attack on bitcoin brain wallets

Primary LanguagePython

bruteforce-bitcoin-brainwallet

This project is no longer maintained.

A python script that performs a bruteforce dictionary attack on brainwallets. It takes a dictionary input file and converts each line into a bitcoin address. A lookup of this address is done either using a local Abe instance, blockchain.info, or insight.bitpay.com to see if any bitcoins have ever been received by this address. If so, it will do one more check to see the current balance for the bitcoin address.

#Requirements

  • Dictionary file in UTF-8 format (other formats NOT SUPPORTED)
  • Python 2.7 (3.x NOT SUPPORTED), requests, coinkit
pip install -r requirements.txt

#Usage

usage: bbb.py [-h] -t TYPE -d DICT_FILE -o OUTPUT_FILE [-s SERVER] [-p PORT]
              [-c CHAIN] [-k] [--version]

A script to perform bruteforce dictionary attacks on brainwallets.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  -t TYPE         Blockchain lookup type (abe|blockchaininfo|insight|blockexplorercom)
  -d DICT_FILE    Dictionary file (e.g. dictionary.txt)
  -o OUTPUT_FILE  Output file (e.g. output.txt)
  -s SERVER       Abe server address (e.g. localhost)
  -p PORT         Abe port (e.g. 2751)
  -c CHAIN        Abe chain string (e.g. Bitcoin)
  -k              treat each word as a hex or wif encoded private key, not as
                  brain wallet
  --version       show program's version number and exit
