BitCrack (macOS Compatible)
Multi-Plateform cracking tool. works on all Operating Systems.
Build Status
Code Quality
Note
This version has been modified and partially fixed by me (Maroc-OS @MerrukTechnolog) except for most of CUDA files they are not tested (Fixed), only OpenCL has been tested. the main goal is to fix maximum possible issues, style, security and performance. then make it a pool style compatible tool.
Description
A tool for brute-forcing Bitcoin private keys. The main purpose of this project is to contribute to the effort of solving the Bitcoin puzzle transaction: A transaction with 32 addresses that become increasingly difficult to crack.
Using BitCrack
Usage
Use cuBitCrack.exe
for CUDA devices and clBitCrack.exe
for OpenCL devices.
Important
clBitCrack.exe is still EXPERIMENTAL, as users have reported critial bugs when running on some AMD and Intel devices.
Note for Intel users:
There is bug in Intel's OpenCL implementation which affects BitCrack. Details here: brichard19/BitCrack#123
xxBitCrack.exe [OPTIONS] [TARGETS]
Where [TARGETS] are one or more Bitcoin address
Options:
-i, --in FILE
Read addresses from FILE, one address per line. If FILE is "-" then stdin is read
-o, --out FILE
Append private keys to FILE, one per line
-d, --device N
Use device with ID equal to N
-b, --blocks BLOCKS
The number of CUDA blocks
-t, --threads THREADS
Threads per block
-p, --points NUMBER
Each thread will process NUMBER keys at a time
-r, --random
Use random values from keyspace.
--keyspace KEYSPACE
Specify the range of keys to search, where KEYSPACE is in the format,
START:END start at key START, end at key END
START:+COUNT start at key START and end at key START + COUNT
:END start at key 1 and end at key END
:+COUNT start at key 1 and end at key 1 + COUNT
-c, --compressed
Search for compressed keys (default). Can be used with -u to also search uncompressed keys
-u, --uncompressed
Search for uncompressed keys, can be used with -c to search compressed keys
--compression MODE
Specify the compression mode, where MODE is 'compressed' or 'uncompressed' or 'both'
--list-devices
List available devices
--stride NUMBER
Increment by NUMBER
--share M/N
Divide the keyspace into N equal sized shares, process the Mth share
--continue FILE
Save/load progress from FILE
Examples
The simplest usage, the keyspace will begin at 0, and the CUDA parameters will be chosen automatically
xxBitCrack.exe 1FshYsUh3mqgsG29XpZ23eLjWV8Ur3VwH
Multiple keys can be searched at once with minimal impact to performance. Provide the keys on the command line, or in a file with one address per line
xxBitCrack.exe 1FshYsUh3mqgsG29XpZ23eLjWV8Ur3VwH 15JhYXn6Mx3oF4Y7PcTAv2wVVAuCFFQNiP 19EEC52krRUK1RkUAEZmQdjTyHT7Gp1TYT
To start the search at a specific private key, use the --keyspace
option:
xxBitCrack.exe --keyspace 766519C977831678F0000000000 1FshYsUh3mqgsG29XpZ23eLjWV8Ur3VwH
The --keyspace
option can also be used to search a specific range:
xxBitCrack.exe --keyspace 80000000:ffffffff 1FshYsUh3mqgsG29XpZ23eLjWV8Ur3VwH
To start the search randomly, use the --random
option:
xxBitCrack.exe --random 1FshYsUh3mqgsG29XpZ23eLjWV8Ur3VwH
The --keyspace
& --random
option can also be used to search randomly in a specific range:
xxBitCrack.exe --keyspace 80000000:ffffffff --random 1FshYsUh3mqgsG29XpZ23eLjWV8Ur3VwH
To periodically save progress, the --continue
option can be used. This is useful for recovering
after an unexpected interruption:
xxBitCrack.exe --keyspace 80000000:ffffffff 1FshYsUh3mqgsG29XpZ23eLjWV8Ur3VwH
...
GeForce GT 640 224/1024MB | 1 target 10.33 MKey/s (1,244,659,712 total) [00:01:58]
^C
xxBitCrack.exe --keyspace 80000000:ffffffff 1FshYsUh3mqgsG29XpZ23eLjWV8Ur3VwH
...
GeForce GT 640 224/1024MB | 1 target 10.33 MKey/s (1,357,905,920 total) [00:02:12]
Use the -b,
-t
and -p
options to specify the number of blocks, threads per block, and keys per thread.
xxBitCrack.exe -b 32 -t 256 -p 16 1FshYsUh3mqgsG29XpZ23eLjWV8Ur3VwH
Choosing the right parameters for your device
GPUs have many cores. Work for the cores is divided into blocks. Each block contains threads.
There are 3 parameters that affect performance: blocks, threads per block, and keys per thread.
blocks:
Should be a multiple of the number of compute units on the device. The default is 32.
threads:
The number of threads in a block. This must be a multiple of 32. The default is 256.
Keys per thread:
The number of keys each thread will process. The performance (keys per second)
increases asymptotically with this value. The default is256. Increasing this value will cause the
kernel to run longer, but more keys will be processed.
Building
Build dependencies
Visual Studio 2019 (if on Windows)
For CUDA: CUDA Toolkit 10.1
For OpenCL: An OpenCL SDK (The CUDA toolkit contains an OpenCL SDK).
Building in Windows
Open the Visual Studio solution.
Build the clKeyFinder
project for an OpenCL build.
Build the cuKeyFinder
project for a CUDA build.
Note: By default the NVIDIA OpenCL headers are used. You can set the header and library path for
OpenCL in the BitCrack.props
property sheet.
Building in macOS & Linux
Using make
:
Build CUDA:
make BUILD_CUDA=1
Build OpenCL:
make BUILD_OPENCL=1
Or just use:
make
Or build both:
make BUILD_CUDA=1 BUILD_OPENCL=1
Debug Version:
make BUILD_DEBUG=1
