Proof Of Concept

Bitcoin private keys allow a person to control the wallet that it correlates to. If the wallet has Bitcoins in it, then the private key will allow the person to spend whatever balance the wallet has.

This program attempts to brute force Bitcoin private keys in an attempt to successfully find a correlating wallet with a positive balance. In the event that a balance is found, the wallet's private key, public key and wallet address are stored in the text file plutus.txt on the user's hard drive.

This program is essentially a brute forcing algorithm. It continuously generates random Bitcoin private keys, converts the private keys into their respective wallet addresses, then checks the balance of the addresses. The ultimate goal is to randomly find a wallet with a balance out of the 2¹⁶⁰ possible wallets in existence.

How It Works

Private keys are generated randomly to create a 32 byte hexidecimal string using the cryptographically secure os.urandom() function.

The private keys are converted into their respective public keys using the starkbank-ecdsa Python module. Then the public keys are converted into their Bitcoin wallet addresses using the binascii and hashlib standard libraries.

A pre-calculated database of every Bitcoin address with a positive balance is included in this project. The generated address is searched within the database, and if it is found that the address has a balance, then the private key, public key and wallet address are saved to the text file plutus.txt on the user's hard drive.

This program also utilizes multiprocessing through the multiprocessing.Pool() function in order to make concurrent calculations.

Efficiency

It takes 0.0032457721 seconds for this progam to brute force a single Bitcoin address.

However, through multiprocessing.Pool() a concurrent process is created for every CPU your computer has. So this program can brute force addresses at a speed of 0.0032457721 ÷ cpu_count() seconds.

Expected Output

Every time this program checks the balance of a generated address, it will print the result to the user. If an empty wallet is found, then the wallet address will be printed to the terminal. An example is:

1Kz2CTvjzkZ3p2BQb5x5DX6GEoHX2jFS45

However, if a balance is found, then all necessary information about the wallet will be saved to the text file plutus.txt. An example is:

hex private key: 5A4F3F1CAB44848B2C2C515AE74E9CC487A9982C9DD695810230EA48B1DCEADD
WIF private key: 5JW4RCAXDbocFLK9bxqw5cbQwuSn86fpbmz2HhT9nvKMTh68hjm
public key: 04393B30BC950F358326062FF28D194A5B28751C1FF2562C02CA4DFB2A864DE63280CC140D0D540EA1A5711D1E519C842684F42445C41CB501B7EA00361699C320

Recent Improvements & TODO

• Improve multiprocessing

• Query balances using a database instead of an API

• Improve ECDSA signing speed

• Add a counter

• Use a bloom filter instead of a set?

Create an issue so I can add more stuff to improve
