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
It was originally released as part of my DEFCON talk about cracking brainwallets
([slides](https://rya.nc/dc23), [video](https://rya.nc/b6), [why](https://rya.nc/defcon-brainwallets.html)).

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.

The current release is more than four times faster than the DEFCON release, and
many features have been added.
