The Canary - Burst Early Warning System



  • yes geting a Hit on a random wallet would be faster than targeting a single wallet, however you will need to get into the details with somone who knows more than i do on the specific's. i do know that most people that have been involved with Burst for any lenght of time do not infact use a generated wallet from the set dictionary simple because it is a known source that uses pure length of phrase for security witch yes puts a big damper on brute force but also provides a perfect starting place for somone wanting to run a lottery wallet cracker . for myself i generate a random pass phrase then i modify it by adding in Cap's, #s, and symbols in various places witch makes it even longer at the same time removing it from the known word list wile at the same time keeping the randomness from the generated phrase. even adding a single digit will get you out of that known list.

    @ctt Bruteforcing will find insecure accounts - I've had one compromised and the funds stolen - but for a system generated 12 word passphrase - it'll take longer than the Universe has existed to brute force it. Substitute or add numerals or symbols into the pass phrase, even 1 digit will make it more than 10x harder to crack it.

    The default passphrase generator will create a pass phrase that's probably secure for the next 20 generations of humanity.

    @ctt said in The Canary - Burst Early Warning System:

    Would they not be able to randomly hit wallets much faster than the predicted brute force time for one single wallet?

    i tested 7 days randomly cracking (10 random + 2 bruteforce) = no one positive results

    @ctt @Gibsalot Even if Burst would be used by 3 billion people / accounts this wouldn't mean a bruteforce attempt will be randomly successful at some point. The possible combination of the 12 words is a very large number (see wikipedia) which are difficult for us to imagine. On the other hand million and billion are not very large numbers (in math).

    It's like comparing the distance to the moon (possible combinations) with length of a helping ladder (3 billion accounts). You won't reach it the moon suddenly with your hand. ;)

    After crunching the numbers of my moon vs ladder example -> It is wrong by six magnitudes.

    So your ladder (3 billion accounts) is not 10 meter high. It is 0,00001 m high.

    @haitch Now 736 CPU hours. My single threaded cracker ran for around 648 hours - so surprised the multithreaded approach take more hours, albeit in a lot less real time. My single threaded app ran for around 26 days to get to 648 CPU Hours. Blago's cracker has been running for less than 1 day, and has more hours.

    @haitch Just passed 1,000 CPU hours ......

    When @daWallet says the 12 word phrase is "a very large number:"; that number is 341,54,387,00,281,734,278,1797,097,590,636,000. Brute forcing that passphrase will, on average, take longer than the universe has existed - billions of billions of years. 5 Words is over 3,000 years, each additional word make it 1,626 time harder. Replacing or adding a numeral or symbol makes it virtually impossible.

  • seems that a couple of days ago someone pulled the rest of the coins out of the 3 word phrase account

    http://burstcoin.biz/address/13349019730708354187

    did i miss some one (besides haitch) claiming to have found the pass phrase?


  • Mod

    Interesting... some one got a prize!

    little update:

  • @Blago going from 53 sec to 4 sec is very impressive for optimizations. huge seems like an understatement.

    the combinations/sec is impressive too but comparing to possibilities of 12 word phrase is not cause for concern about standard phrases.
