lousy_bitcoins
Utility to try to crack bitcoins private keys generated from weak passphrases.
Disclamer
I hold no liability for what you do with this application. I built this for learning purposes and to try to get people to be more careful with their private keys.
How it Works
It generates private keys from a password list file, then checks if the respective bitcoin address has any history on the blockchain. If so, then checks if it has any balance.
Examples
