KeyZero
KeyZero is a Python-based tool designed for brute-forcing Bitcoin private keys. It generates random or sequential private keys, computes their corresponding public addresses, and checks these addresses against an offline database or an online API to determine if they hold any Bitcoin balance.

KeyZero (previously Btcbf) 
KeyZero is a Python-based tool designed for brute-forcing Bitcoin private keys. It generates random or sequential private keys, computes their corresponding public addresses, and checks them against an online API or an offline database to determine if they hold any Bitcoin balance. The name "KeyZero" humorously reflects the near-zero chance of finding a valid key, making it a fun and educational tool for exploring Bitcoin's security.
Features
- Efficiency: Utilizes the
bitlibrary for fast key generation and address computation. - Flexibility: Supports both online and offline modes for address checking.
- User Interaction: Provides an interactive command-line interface for ease of use.
- Results Storage: Saves found keys to
foundkey.txt. - Progress Tracking: Displays the number of keys checked per second and elapsed time.
- Resume Functionality: Can resume sequential brute-forcing from where it left off using a cache file (
cache.txt).
Quick Start
-
Clone the Repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/vlnahp/KeyZero.git -
Navigate to the Directory:
$ cd KeyZero -
Install Dependencies:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt -
Run the Tool:
$ python KeyZero.py # or python3 KeyZero.py on Linux
Requirements
- Offline Mode: Requires a database of Bitcoin addresses. By default,
address.txtis used, which contains a limited set of addresses. For a comprehensive database, download the latest address list from here and replaceaddress.txt. Ensure your system has sufficient RAM to handle large databases.
