profanity3 for windows

Profanity is the fastest vanity generator for ethereum addresses and contract addresses.

"profanity3 is a fork of "profanity2" from 1inch Network [email protected], which fixes the security problems of the original "profanity" from Johan Gustafsson [email protected].

"profanity3" from Rodrigo Madera [email protected], is the same as "profanity2" with just one special feature: it can reverse engineer "profanity1" keys.

"profanity3WINx64" is a fork of "profanity3" with some adjustments to compile for windows.

Important to know

A previous version of this project (hereby called "profanity1" for context) has a known critical issue due to a bad source of randomness. The issue enables attackers to recover the private key given a public key: https://blog.1inch.io/a-vulnerability-disclosed-in-profanity-an-ethereum-vanity-address-tool-68ed7455fc8c

The good guys at 1inch created a follow-up project called "profanity2" which was forked from the original "profanity1" project and modified to guarantee safety by design. They claim that "this means that the source code of this project does not require any audits, but still guarantee safe usage." Kind of a bold statement (if you ask me) although it's pretty much true.

Project "profanity2" is not generating key anymore, instead it adjusts user-provided public key until desired vanity address will be discovered. Users provide seed public key in form of 128-symbol hex string with -z parameter flag. Resulting private key should be used to be added to seed private key to achieve final private key of the desired vanity address (private keys are just 256-bit numbers). Running "profanity2" can even be outsourced to someone completely unreliable - it is still safe by design.

Open Source tool for getting public keys and adding private keys (Do not use for wallets with large value)

Getting public key for mandatory -z parameter

Generate private key and public key via openssl in MSYS2-terminal (remove prefix "04" from public key):

$ openssl ecparam -genkey -name secp256k1 -text -noout -outform DER | xxd -p -c 1000 | sed 's/41534e31204f49443a20736563703235366b310a30740201010420/Private Key: /' | sed 's/a00706052b8104000aa144034200/\'$'\nPublic Key: /'

Merging private keys (never use online calculators!)

PRIVATE_KEY_A = private key from "Generate private key" PRIVATE_KEY_B = private key from "profanity"-search result

use Terminal

Use private keys as 64-symbol hexadecimal string WITHOUT 0x prefix:

(echo 'ibase=16;obase=10' && (echo '(PRIVATE_KEY_A + PRIVATE_KEY_B) % FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEFFFFFC2F' | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')) | bc

use Python

Use private keys as 64-symbol hexadecimal string WITH 0x prefix:

$ python3
>>> hex((PRIVATE_KEY_A + PRIVATE_KEY_B) % 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEFFFFFC2F)

handle "Leading Zero"-Bug (Example and Fix)

>>> (echo 'ibase=16;obase=10' && (echo '(0bc657b0af28b743c7f0d49c4de78efd47a5c8923dabfdef051fff5cdc7c30e7 + 0x0000f8ba428990fca1e618a252ac3614f5de19b20ff00c2ded57bfb6933830aa) % FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEFFFFFC2F' | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')) | bc
>>> BC7506AF1B2484069D6ED3EA093C5123D83E2444D9C0A1CF277BF226FB49AD0
>>> 0BC7506AF1B2484069D6ED3EA093C5123D83E2444D9C0A1CF277BF226FB49AD0 (Pad with 1 zero as length only 63)

Note that if less than 64-symbol is generated, simply add leading zeroes to the private key. This occurs due to the summation of PRIVATE_KEY_A & PRIVATE_KEY_B with leading 0s not being displayed in final hex generated. Example above has 1 overlapping leading 0 thus we add an additional zero.

      No guarantees whatsoever are given, so use this at your own risk and
      don't bother me about it. Also, don't be evil. Use this to assess
      your own addresses and keep them safe. But better yet, if you have
      any wallets generated with profanity1, just throw them away.

      Always verify that a private key generated by this program corresponds to
      the public key printed by importing it to a wallet of your choice. This
      program like any software might contain bugs and it does by design cut
      corners to improve overall performance.

Example

STEP 1: create a random private and public key-pair
