Yeah if he doesn't provide a signature or a Satoshi test then just walk away...You can't get access to their funds from a Satoshi test based on how it works as much as you can hack them from the address they provide you if it's already had a signed transaction from it as a Satoshi test will do the same.

Satoshi test is meant to provide proof that one has really Bitcoin funds in a certain wallet (Bitcoin ownership). There are some clients who are demanding proof so this is the best way to convince them of the evidence for them to appreciate and trust one another. Satoshi test can never be utilized as a way to hack into a person's wallet because had it been that way then no one will ever be using the test anymore.

Signed message would be enough when we do talk about giving out proofs that the seller of btc do really have those coins on his own wallet.This doesnt
only talks about some clients because majority of them would really ask a proof yet we are talking money on here.Theres no way on hacking someones wallet on that satoshi test thingy.

Ok i just give you a small example
1. The buyer wants to buy 500btc; he provides a bank statement in the amount of 500btc
2. the buyer wants to make sure that the seller has coins in such a volume and requests a satoshi test from a wallet of at least 500 transactions and that it is not a stock wallet
The seller refuses to provide a satoshi test because he is afraid that his wallet will be hacked
from this we can conclude that either the seller does not have coins or the seller is afraid that they can actually crack his wallet

From the above-given scenario, no such hacks would ever be accomplished but the seller will be exposing his wallet which contains 500 btc (assuming he did the test) and that's basically it, although of course the risk of physical attacks to the seller can still happen if the identity of the buyer and the seller is already known to each other. Technically, even if you know the public address of a wallet, you still can't crack it by just using that. You still need the private key in order to gain full access to the wallet/address of the seller.

It's because you didn't ask a full question. If that sort of thing is what you need then no one's going to help you because it'll make them certain you're trying to scam...

If it uses signatures then no it is about as easy to crack as a public key as they normally have 256 bits of entropy applied.

If you think logically, why would a proof of funds ever be hackable if people are happy to provide them?
