Brainflayer =========== Brainflayer is a Proof-of-Concept brainwallet cracking tool that uses [libsecp256k1](https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1) for pubkey generation. It was released as part of my DEFCON talk about cracking brainwallets [(slides)](https://rya.nc/dc23). The name is a reference to [Mind Flayers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illithid), a race of monsters from the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. They eat brains, psionically enslave people and look like lovecraftian horrors. Disclaimer ---------- Just because you *can* steal someone's money doesn't mean you *should*.

Usage ----- Precompute the bloom filter: `hex2blf example.hex example.blf` Run Brainflayer against it: `brainflayer example.blf < phraselist.txt` or `your_generator | brainflayer example.blf` Should compile on Linux with `make` provided you have the required devel libs installed (at least openssl and gpm are required along with libsecp256k1's build dependencies). Better readme soon. :-P
