all cracked "experimentation" are from a knowed private and public key.

This might be related to the risk of Quantum computers breaking ECDSA. However, one should not worry much about this. If we come to the point where it is risky, we're probably going to change the algorithm to something better. People need to stop living in the far future (cause of fear), and start living in the present.
He bruteforced it and got lucky, probablity of bruteforcing a private key is: 2 to the power of -124 if I am correct. At any rate, if you do not know about encryption of bitcoin, better not to make FUD statements. And well who knows it was his own address and he made it seem as if he cracked bitcoin encryption.
Who and when? Links please.This is the link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421842.60 a guy name evil-kenevel cracked a private key outta public key and address

Can a bitcoin address can be recovered from public key... If not so how is it related to bitcoin address???
It seems that those replying so far do not understand the difference between a public and a private key.
The answer is *of course* a Bitcoin address can be determined from a public key as it is basically just a base58 formatted version of a cryptographic hash of the public key.
What you can't do is go from the Bitcoin address back to the public key (as cryptographic hashes are not reversible) and the public key of course can't be used to do anything like a tx without also having the private key (which cannot be determined from it).
nope if it was possible then nobody's bitcoin would be safe, but if you are talking about HD wallets im pretty sure you can get the addresses from the Xpub key
Are you saying hd wallets like multibit HD WALLETS etc or like this...??

Can a bitcoin address can be recovered from public key...
No.

I was shocked to see a private key coming outta public key..... Dnt know what he did but it certainly seems bitcoin encryption things are loose....

Its not impossible, its just very very low probability
No way to do that.
You can only brute force, but that's useless, it would take literally forever to get the private key that matches the public key.
The concept is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

Then how did this guy Evil-Knievel in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421842.60 cracked an address with his script which he calls "horseshit"
This would kind of defeat the security of Bitcoin
