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
