bitcoin-bruteforce

Bitcoin public address brute force written in Python

Setup

Debian install

1. Install Python
2. Install git and clone this repo:

$ sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
$ sudo apt install git -y
$ git clone https://github.com/meesvw/bitcoin-bruteforce.git

3. Go into the bitcoin-bruteforce folder and install the requirements:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Add wallets in the wallets.txt file:

$ sudo nano wallets.txt

5. Run the code:

$ python3 bruteforce.py

Keep the code running when closing SSH session (Optional):

To keep your code running you can use screen. Install screen with the following command:

sudo apt install -y screen

After that just start the Python program (exit this session by pressing ctrl + a + d):

sudo screen python bruteforce.py

If you want to connect to your last session just use:

sudo screen -r

Usage

Add a wallet

When adding a new wallet to the wallets.txt file. Just insert it on top:

;new address here;
1P5ZEDWTKTFGxQjZphgWPQUpe554WKDfHQ
1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF
1LdRcdxfbSnmCYYNdeYpUnztiYzVfBEQeC
...

Start program

This Python script has multiple functions:

• OTBF (Optimized traditional bruteforce) <- This is faster than TBF
• TBF (Traditional bruteforce) <- Will try every wallet possible
• RBF (Random bruteforce)
• OBF (Online bruteforce) <- Not finished nor started

In this example we will run the TBF attack on the wallets inside of the wallets.txt file:

 1. $ python bruteforce.py                                         # start the python program
 2. $ Select bruteforce mode:
 3. $ 0 - Exit
 4. $ 1 - RBF
 5. $ 2 - TBF
 6. $ 3 - OTBF
 7. $ > 1                                                          # choose the function to use
 8. $ How many cores do you want to use (8 available):
 9. $ > 8                                                          # choose how many cores you want to use
10. $ 
11. $ Starting bruteforce instances in mode: RBF with 1 core(s)    # feedback that it started bruteforcing

After line 11 you will see the instances that started, depending on the CPU cores you picked.

Found a wallet

When the bruteforce matches an address in the wallets.txt file. It will add or create the found.txt file. The Python program will also print the following:

$ Instance: 1 - Found: 1P5ZEDWTKTFGxQjZphgWPQUpe554WKDfHQ
