Utility to try to crack bitcoins private keys generated from weak passphrases.

Disclamer

I hold no liability for what you do with this application. I built this for learning purposes and to try to get people to be more careful with their private keys.

How it Works

It generates private keys from a password list file, then checks if the respective bitcoin address has any history on the blockchain. If so, then checks if it has any balance.

Examples
