We focus specifically on cryptography, notably random number generation, private key, wallet cracking, brainwallet etc.\n\nDisclaimer\n---------------\nJust because you can steal someone else money does not mean you should do it.\n\nInspiration(great and funny talk at Defcon): https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayer\n\n## Installation\nYou need to have a working go(lang) environment in version \u003e=1.9 and clone this repository. I can provide executable if there are requests.\n\nYou first need to get the dependency:\n```\n$ go get github.com/btcsuite/btcutil/base58\n```\n\nNow you can go in the ```exec``` folder and build the executable:\n```\n$ cd exec/\n$ go build -zombie.go\n$ ./zombie\n```\n##  Usage\n```\n$ ./zombie -h\nUsage of ./zombie:\n  -f string\n    \tformat file (default \"guesses\")\n  -print\n    \tPrint the generated canditates to standard output\n  -wif\n    \tWIF cracker. Generate valid wif from the format or wordlist file\n```\n\n## Wordlist generation\n\n### Goal\nThe goal is to generate password/keys when you know part of the target. This is not suitable if you have a high number of candidates for some parts.\nHopefully next versions will support candidates from file generated with the tools like [crunch](https://tools.kali.org/password-attacks/crunch) or [john the ripper](https://tools.kali.org/password-attacks/john).\n\n### Format\nFirst you need to fill the format file(see ```exec/format_example``` for an example):\n```\n// read the format line and put it in an array of candidates\n// one time symbol between parts candidates\n// first symbol is a delimiter follow by a part\n// repeat the delimiter before each part\n// ex: aEa3  \t=\u003e [E 3]\n// ex: !g!d!e!p =\u003e [g d e p]\n// ex: %OUI%NON%YES%NO =\u003e [OUI NON YES NO]\n```\nA useful feature that is missing is being able to set all the characters of the alphabet you are consider, using ```?```. The alphabets considered for addition are [base58](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding) and [BIP39 wordlists](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/bip-0039-wordlists.md) mainly, and maybe hexadecimal/binary in case we want to play directly on bytes/bits level.\n\n### Usage\nThe philosophy of this function is to use it with the cracking functions available (not much for now) or to print the resulting candidates, with the option ```-print```.\n### Example: Monero Wallet Cracker\nLet us assume you forgot *exactly* your Monero wallet password but you know the parts in it. You can use ```zombie``` to generate the password candidates and then pipe it to the wallet. I made a Bash script to use where your wallet and the Monero cli are located:\n```\n./monero_cracker.sh format_file brute_forcing_a_monero_wallet\n```\n\n## Wif Cracker: guess a private keys\nThis function is useful to take on  [contest like this one](http://jangodfrey.com/illustration/guess-my-bitcoin/guess-my-bitcoin.php):\n![img](http://jangodfrey.com/illustration/guess-my-bitcoin/GUESS_MY_BITCOIN_tiled.png)\nIt will generate the candidates from the format, check if they are valid [wif](http://learnmeabitcoin.com/glossary/wif) and print the valid wif. You need to then derive them and see if they hit your target. Unfortunately, we did not get the 1/2 BTC :-( because we had a wrong assumption and did not consider the case color.\n\n*Remember*:You need to have partial knowledge of the key, somehow, and hope that you can bruteforce the remaining space.\n\nThe solution to the contest: [5JKPapJwgyEij3sxYRAEnixyiFgxqkVhgZXv9bWWknBexegx6tM](https://twitter.com/guessmybitcoin/status/781887409394974720)\nYou can test it with the provided ```guesses``` file.\n\n## Next features\n* Number of candidates generated and size\n* Accept data generated from crunch/John\n* Add Public key derivation for BTC, ETH, ...\n* Brainwallet cracker\n* Mnemonic phrases support(BIP39,...)\n* Try very crappy random number generator: date, hour, low/high Hamming weight (00..00, 11..11)\n* Advance ECC Discrete logarithm attacks\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcryptohazard%2Fzombie","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcryptohazard%2Fzombie","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcryptohazard%2Fzombie/lists"}
