profanity2-rs

⚠️Experimental Project⚠️

profanity2-rs is a Rust port version of the original profanity2. It's just a product of me starting to write some Rust code and trying to learn the language. It's not meant to be used in production, but DYOR if you want to use it.

Profanity is a high performance (probably the fastest!) vanity address generator for Ethereum. Create cool customized addresses that you never realized you needed! Recieve Ether in style! Wow!

Important to know

A previous version of this project has a known critical issue due to a bad source of randomness. The issue enables attackers to recover private key from public key: https://blog.1inch.io/a-vulnerability-disclosed-in-profanity-an-ethereum-vanity-address-tool-68ed7455fc8c

This project "profanity2" was forked from the original project and modified to guarantee safety by design. This means source code of this project do not require any audits, but still guarantee safe usage.

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 -seed 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.

Getting public key for mandatory -seed parameter

Generate private key and public key via openssl in 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: /'

Derive public key from existing private key via openssl in terminal (remove prefix "04" from public key):

$ openssl ec -inform DER -text -noout -in <(cat <(echo -n "302e0201010420") <(echo -n "PRIVATE_KEY_HEX") <(echo -n "a00706052b8104000a") | xxd -r -p) 2>/dev/null | tail -6 | head -5 | sed 's/[ :]//g' | tr -d '\n' && echo

Adding private keys (never use online calculators!)

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

Python

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

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