# Principal Bruteforce
Generate a principal id for the internet computer with a human readable prefix!
## Usage
```sh
./generate_ids.sh 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](https://github.com/dfinity/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.
