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!
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
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 -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.
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' && echoUse private keys as 64-symbol hexadecimal string WITHOUT 0x prefix:

Mandatory args:
-z Seed public key to start, add it's private key
to the "profanity2" resulting private key.
Basic modes:
--benchmark Run without any scoring, a benchmark.
--zeros Score on zeros anywhere in hash.
--letters Score on letters anywhere in hash.
--numbers Score on numbers anywhere in hash.
--mirror Score on mirroring from center.
--leading-doubles Score on hashes leading with hexadecimal pairs
-b, --zero-bytes Score on hashes containing the most zero bytes
Modes with arguments:
--leading <single hex> Score on hashes leading with given hex character.
--matching <hex string> Score on hashes matching given hex string.
Advanced modes:
--contract Instead of account address, score the contract
address created by the account's zeroth transaction.
--leading-range Scores on hashes leading with characters within
given range.
--range Scores on hashes having characters within given
range anywhere.
Range:
-m, --min <0-15> Set range minimum (inclusive), 0 is '0' 15 is 'f'.
-M, --max <0-15> Set range maximum (inclusive), 0 is '0' 15 is 'f'.
Device control:
-s, --skip <index> Skip device given by index.
-n, --no-cache Don't load cached pre-compiled version of kernel.
Tweaking:
-w, --work <size> Set OpenCL local work size. [default = 64]
-W, --work-max <size> Set OpenCL maximum work size. [default = -i * -I]
-i, --inverse-size Set size of modular inverses to calculate in one
work item. [default = 255]
-I, --inverse-multiple Set how many above work items will run in
parallell. [default = 16384]
Examples:
./profanity2 --leading f -z HEX_PUBLIC_KEY_128_CHARS_LONG
./profanity2 --matching dead -z HEX_PUBLIC_KEY_128_CHARS_LONG
./profanity2 --matching badXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXbad -z HEX_PUBLIC_KEY_128_CHARS_LONG
./profanity2 --leading-range -m 0 -M 1 -z HEX_PUBLIC_KEY_128_CHARS_LONG
