WarpWallet Bounty

in #bugbounty7 years ago

Anything interesting today?

I'll be keeping it short for tonight; I looked for online Bitcoin wallet generators for no particular reason and found WarpWallet. What I stayed for though is the unexpired and unsolved bounty for 20 Bitcoins (around $90,000) at the bottom of their page. It involves the guessing of an 8-character passphrase that only has alphanumeric characters. Easier said than done:

There are 26 letters in the alphabet;

Two cases per each set of letters;

Then ten digits for numerals;

26 + 26 + 10 = 62

62 by itself 8 times would be 218,340,105,584,896. Even if it takes a second for you to check one case, it'll take more time than one could muster, compound this with the use of Scrypt...

Like a famous meme goes:

Unless you have a lot of computers on your hands, I suppose. Thanks and see you around!
