eosc command-line swiss-army-knife

点击查看中文

eosc is a cross-platform (Windows, Mac and Linux) command-line tool for interacting with an EOS.IO blockchain.

It contains tools for voting and a Vault to securely store private keys.

It is based on the eos-go library, used in eos-bios.

This first release holds simple tools, but a whole cleos-like swiss-army-knife is being developed and will be released shortly after mainnet launch. Source code for most operations is already available in this repository.

Installation

  1. Install from https://github.com/eoscanada/eosc/releases

or

  1. Build from source with:
go get -u -v github.com/eoscanada/eosc/eosc

or

  1. If you are on MacOS and use Homebrew:
brew install eoscanada/tap/eosc

Vote now!

Once installed run:

eosc vault create --import

to import your keys and follow instructions.

Then run:

eosc vote --help

and run something like this:

eosc vote producers [your account] [producer1] [producer2] [producer3]

Make sure you have version v0.7.0 or higher:

eosc version

Read more below for details.

eosc vault

The eosc vault is a simple yet powerful EOS wallet.

Import keys in new wallet

You can import externally generated private keys with vault create --import call.

You will then be asked to paste your private key in an interactive prompt. The private key is not shown on screen during the import. It will display the corresponding public key which you should cross-check.

$ eosc vault create --import -c "Imported key"
Enter passphrase to encrypt your vault: ****
Confirm passphrase: ****
Type your first private key: ****
Type your next private key or hit ENTER if you are done:
Imported 1 keys. Let's secure them before showing the public keys.
Wallet file "./eosc-vault.json" created. Here are your public keys:
- EOS6MRyAjQq8ud7hVNYcfnVPJqcVpscN5So8BhtHuGYqET5GDW5CV

Your private keys will be encrypted using your passphrase. See below for cryptographic primitives used.

New wallet with new keys

Create a new wallet with:

$ eosc vault create --keys 2
Created 2 keys. Let's secure them before showing the public keys.
Enter passphrase to encrypt your keys:
Confirm passphrase:
Wallet file "./eosc-vault.json" created. Here are your public keys:
- EOS7MEGq9FVb2Ve4bsZEan1t146TKCyo8dKtLvihrNhGbPLCPLjXd
- EOS5QoyZwJvpPjmZAa3HdgTn2FdNABBffXLD95WPagiARmaAHMhin

Add keys to an existing vault

To add an externally generated private key to an existing vault, use:

$ eosc vault add
Vault file not found, creating a new wallet
Type your first private key:        [insert your private key here, NOT shown]
Type your next private key or hit ENTER if you are done:
Keys imported. Let's secure them before showing the public keys.
Enter passphrase to encrypt your keys:
Confirm passphrase:
Wallet file "./eosc-vault.json" written. Here are your ADDED public keys:
- EOS5tb61aZMAfQqKDsnkscFq76JXxNdi7ZhkUmkVZUkU4zPzfeAFx
Total keys writteN: 3

The vault operations do zero network calls and can be done offline. The file is encrypted, can safely be archived and is future proof.

Casting your votes

With an eosc-vault.json, you can vote:

$ eosc vote producers youraccount eoscanadacom someotherfavo riteproducer
Enter passphrase to unlock vault:
Voter [youraccount] voting for: [eoscanadacom]
Done

This will sign your vote transaction locally, and submit the transaction to the network through the https://mainnet.eoscanada.com endpoint. You can also point to some other endpoints that are on the main network with -u or --api-url.

Find what your account is on https://eosq.app

Cryptographic primitives used

The cryptography used is NaCl (C implementation, Javascript port, Go version, which we use). And key derivation is Argon2, using the Go library here.

You can inspect the crypto code in our codebase regarding the passphrase implementation: it is 61 lines, including blanks and comments.

Offline transaction signature

eosc has everything needed for managing an airtight offline wallet. Here is a sample use. From within /tmp/airtight, run:

  • eosc vault create --import --comment "Airtight wallet"

which will output:

PLEASE READ:
We are now going to ask you to paste your private keys, one at a time.
They will not be shown on screen.
Please verify that the public keys printed on screen correspond to what you have noted

Paste your first private key:       <em>[PASTE PRIVATE KEY HERE]</em>
- Scanned private key corresponding to EOS5J53bNtH5H1bJTyP237fr5LF6eQSQohfGY5iMCgpC4HpXApJBr
Paste your next private key or hit ENTER if you are done:           <em>[PASTE SECOND PRIVATE KEY HERE]</em>
- Scanned private key corresponding to EOS6tgsdv6S7N1GYWgX8QEBAsanAwXwuaEkv11GGtteyk5ELqSzVP
Paste your next private key or hit ENTER if you are done:           <em>[HIT ENTER HERE]</em>
Imported 2 keys.

You will be asked to provide a passphrase to secure your newly created vault.
Make sure you make it long and strong.

Enter passphrase to encrypt your vault:       <em>[ENTER YOUR PASSPHRASE HERE]</em>
Confirm passphrase:                           <em>[RE-ENTER YOUR PASSPHRASE HERE]</em>

Wallet file "./eosc-vault.json" written to disk.
Here are the keys that were ADDED during this operation (use `list` to see them all):
- EOS5J53bNtH5H1bJTyP237fr5LF6eQSQohfGY5iMCgpC4HpXApJBr
- EOS6tgsdv6S7N1GYWgX8QEBAsanAwXwuaEkv11GGtteyk5ELqSzVP
Total keys stored: 2

This operation creates your eosc-vault.json wallet. It can be done completely offline as it does not touch the network at all.

Now, let's try using it. Issue those commands from a computer with internet access (which in turn does not have access to your eosc vault wallet):

  • eosc transfer airtight11111 cancancan123 1.0000 -m "Can't say I haven't paid you now" --write-transaction transaction.json --skip-sign --expiration 3600

This will output:

Transaction written to "../transaction.json"
Sign offline with: --offline-chain-id=5fff1dae8dc8e2fc4d5b23b2c7665c97f9e9d8edf2b6485a86ba311c25639191
Above is a pretty-printed representation of the outputted file

Now copy the transaction.json file to another computer. Note the --offline-chain-id=... output above.

On the airtight computer, run:

  • eosc tx sign path/to/transaction.json --offline-sign-key EOS6tgsdv6S7N1GYWgX8QEBAsanAwXwuaEkv11GGtteyk5ELqSzVP --offline-chain-id=5fff1dae8dc8e2fc4d5b23b2c7665c97f9e9d8edf2b6485a86ba311c25639191 --write-transaction signedtx.json

You can enter as many --offline-sign-key as you want, or separate each entry with a , (comma), like this: --offline-sign-key EOS6tgsdv6S7N1GYWgX8QEBAsanAwXwuaEkv11GGtteyk5ELqSzVP,EOS5J53bNtH5H1bJTyP237fr5LF6eQSQohfGY5iMCgpC4HpXApJBr. This will output:

Transaction written to "signedtx.json"
Sign offline with: --offline-chain-id=5fff1dae8dc8e2fc4d5b23b2c7665c97f9e9d8edf2b6485a86ba311c25639191
Above is a pretty-printed representation of the outputted file

You are now ready to bring signedtx.json back to the online computer, and run:

  • eosc tx push signedtx.json

This will succeed, in which case you're done, or fail with some of these:

  • transaction bears irrelevant signatures from these keys: [\"EOS5J53bNtH5H1bJTyP237fr5LF6eQSQohfGY5iMCgpC4HpXApJBr\"]: this means you didn't need to sign with this key to authorize the actor@permission you specified in the transaction's actions.

  • UnAuthorized errors: this means you have not signed the transaction with the keys required to authorize the actor@permission specified in the transaction's actions.

  • Transaction's reference block did not match.: this means you didn't create the transaction from the same chain you're trying to push it to.

  • expired transaction: you need to do the whole loop within the timeframe of the original --expiration. If you give --expiration more than an hour, note that you can only submit the transaction to the chain in the last hour of expiration.

  • some other assertion errors, which are normal errors that would have occurred if you tried to sign it online, investigate with the contract in question.

Offline multisig

For added security with offline transaction signing, consider using the multisig facility of the EOS blockchain.

It is possible to propose a transaction on-chain (through eosc multisig propose), reviewable by all, and prepare an offline transaction simply to approve that transaction. Using this method, you could have X number of airtight computers that each provide one piece of the puzzle, controlled by different individuals, without the need to stitch transaction files, or gather signatures into a single place.

FAQ

Q: Why not use cleos instead ?

A: cleos is hard to compile, being in C++, as it requires a huge toolchain. eosc works on Windows where cleos doesn't. eosc contains a wallet inside, and is able to use it to sign some transactions, cleos interfaces with yet another program (keosd) in order to sign transactions, making it more complex to use. eosc brings keosd and cleos together in a swiss-army-knify package.
