  1. vanitygen-plus

    Discontinued Vanitygen PLUS! Generate vanity address for 100+ cryptocoins including: BTC, LTC, LBRY, UNO, DASH, DIAMOND, DOGE, FEATHER, GROESTL, MONA, PEERCOIN, VERTCOIN, ZIFTR, CROWN, GAME, PINK and MORE! Removed the prefix length limit, now capable of searching for longer prefixes... Altcoin encryption and decryption of private keys is also supported.

    That said there is software for making vanity addresses (eg addresses starting with a prefix you want like 1Boat) https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus You could give this thing whole addresses. But that chance of finding the private key for an address is essentially zero.

  3. btcrecover

    BTCRecover is an open source wallet password and seed recovery tool. For seed based recovery, this is primarily useful in situations where you have lost/forgotten parts of your mnemonic, or have made an error transcribing it. (So you are either seeing an empty wallet or gettign an error that your seed is invalid) For wallet password or passphrase recovery, it is primarily useful if you have a reasonable idea about what your password might be. (by 3rdIteration)

    BTCRecover relies on knowing part of the secret, and applies partial brute force to discover the rest https://btcrecover.readthedocs.io/

  4. brainflayer

    A proof-of-concept cracker for cryptocurrency brainwallets and other low entropy key algorithms.

  5. lousy_bitcoins
