Topic: Hack any wallet? (Read 1069 times)
So we are assuming that the possibility is there but how many trials is gonna make that happen , millions of times, who had time for that
So there are 12 words chosen from thousands to recover any wallet.
If you iterate through random word combinations you will eventually generate a wallet that exists, correct?
I know the number of combinations is astronomical. But in theory if you keep generating random phrases, you might eventually stumble upon a wallet holding millions?

Yes, I think a wallet with keywords relying on 12 words is much easier to hack. Because to randomize 12 words is very easy. If we have ever studied mathematics about Random Number Generators, of course we will find words that can open the wallet.
do you mean a hardware wallet?
Hardware wallets and most software wallet generate keys by a 12 or 24 word mnomonic. They do this because it's easier to save 12/24 words on a piece of paper for backup than some random long lower and upper case letters and numbers.
Your bitcoins are fully safe however. It's almost impossible to crack even the 12 words because there are over 2000 combinations for each word and also the order of the words is important. If it was 6 words then it would be very insecure and easily crackakle but 12 words is near impossible.

This is the first time am hearing such, but thinking about it, it is practically impossible else many wallets would have been compromised. Come to think of it, how long do you think it can take generating those words? I have seen backup phrase whose words kinda looks different, so in such case how can you generate other words.of such wallets. I think the algorithm for these wallets are built in such a way that no one can guess the words which makes it difficult to access any wallet without the right words. If this is actually possible, many people would have gotten involved as scammers are always hunting.
You have not heard of it because no one can realistically pull off an attack like that to any wallet, it could be possible if you knew the order of most of the words of the seed phrase, but if you have no idea of the order and the words in the seed phrase then it is going to be almost impossible to find any wallet with any amount of bitcoin, any person thinking that they can earn a lot of money doing that is just deceiving himself and it will be better for him to put his efforts towards something else. It will never worked. Hacking a wallet is not as basic as using a random words generator. Wallet was not created just to easily hacked by any individual out there. Wallet has their own generator which they are the only one who can generate those kind of random words/letters.
yup! that's right.it is not possible for a wallet to be easily hacked by someone. if someone intends to hack into a wallet by matching all random letters, i think it will take a very long time and it is almost impossible for anyone to be able to open it without permission from the wallet owner.
You can back up your wallet by using passphrase, you should save your passphrase world when you want to access to your wallet you have submit passphrase, its better keep your wallet save from hacker because they can't hack your wallet without have passphrase, other way you have use private internet.
Does anyone here do what @OP suggests?
That's really crazy, if you do it. Yeah, I just believe in that kind of thing. It's just how much time you spend doing it. Will it be comparable to what you will get.

Yes it isQuote

Correct alsoQuote

Goodluck to your career mate,12 words combinations astronomically is impossible to find and you are expecting to find a Million holding?Kindly update us here if you found one please?but isn’t it Hacking?which prohibited and not a humanitarian action.i think just let it go ..
Wow, I've thought about it, I even tried, but it never worked, then I thought, that this is actually the basic thing that maybe most people have thought like that, so basic things like this seem to have been overcome by the wallet developer,

I think its need long time to get million dollar wallet by brute force phrase, then every owner of those wallet knowing well how to protect their assets. The developer wallet made it secure, they know what upcoming problem with every wallet address, so I think its impossible to get million dollar by typing 12 pattern words.

With current techniques, it is impossible to violate a wallet. When this happens, it is because the owner has not taken the most basic security measures.
Then, who knows, maybe in the future the so-called "quantum computers" will change the rules.
But for now you can be sure.

Yes. Everything in life is based on odds. There are also the odds that you can be struck by lighting coming out of your house into the garden. There are odds that aliens exist, that god exists, there are odds for absolutely anything. This is how video games work. They use the dungeons and dragons system to work the odds for all actions taken in-game. So if you to throw a ball at a tiny target very far away, you definitely will eventually hit it just like you will eventually do anything.
What you need to do is work out if the odds are in your favour or not. So yes you can hack any wallet just like you can be struck by lightning in your own home. Just like you will eventually do anything if you try enough times. This is what all the talk of quantum computing is all about.
People can mannipulate the price of Bitcoin if there is a lot of money in their capital. What you need to do is work out if the odds are in your favour or not. So yes you can hack any wallet just like you can be struck by lightning in your own home. Just like you will eventually do anything if you try enough times. This is what all the talk of quantum computing is all about.
you better mine with the power you'll use to generate infinite wallets and check their balances with a script
The probability is, you just need to store funds on hardware wallets Trezor and the like. and Yes you need to put two-factor authentication, then you can not think that your password will be hacked. naturally, it is not necessary to store tokens on myetherwallet wallets, security is low there and there is no two-factor authentication.
Even a quantum computer will need a fairly large amount of time. But at the same time, it is not yet created. So what you're talking about is almost impossible. But the likelihood this of course there is.
it was very difficult, I thought, because if breaking into it was that easy there would be many cases of hacking wallets everywhere.
which is where we know the number is very small.
usually the wallet of the person who was hacked because they visited the phishing website, or clicked on a link that makes their website hacked.
and for a hacked exchange they might just be lucky

Everything can be hacked, you own computer, mobile device, even your coffeemaker if it is smart and has access to the internet, so if you are wondering if it is possible to hack an crypto wallet, just look at amount of "my eth hacked" alike posts on this forum.
"It is possible to hack devices that are constantly connected to the Internet." Here you are completely right-everything can be hacked. However, there are secure cold wallets that do not have a permanent connection to the Internet and they can be fully considered secure.such wallets can be considered Ledger and Trezor.
