Principal Bruteforce

Generate a principal id for the internet computer with a human readable prefix!

Usage

./generate_ids.sh <number of threads> prefix_string [string2 ...]

This will output a private key and a seed phrase file into a folder. You can then import the pem with dfx, and import the seed into plugwallet (root account)

Dependencies

bash, keysmith

Footnote

The longer the prefix, the chance of it being generated decreases exponentially

Tested running 64 threads. My specs: i9-11900H, nvidia rtx 3050ti, 32GB ram (Usage: 95% cpu, 35% gpu)

Theoretically, this could be used to bruteforce an entire principal id. I do not recommend it, as the universe will probably collapse by the time you succeed.
