i dont think that 12 words are the same that always shown on every wallet. Or even that the same word that would be more than 100 chance for you to try. For some case whenever you put wrong word for many times the wallet will temporary not alvaliable
I very often and actively use a coinomi wallet to store not only Bitcoin and Ethereum, but also other valuable cryptocurrencies.  In order to access my wallet, you need to provide a certain number of words in a specific sequence with which I can open my wallet.  I am sure that this is one of the most relevant opportunities to protect yourself from the loss of your funds, because these verification words perform the function of a secret key.

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?


Here is the answer for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/4g1228/how_many_bip44_wordlist_combinations_of_12_words/

It was said many times that with our classic (non-quantum) computers, it would take billions of years to figure out a specific word combination.

Lol, you think if this works many people won't know already? there are many people like you who thinks that forming fake recovery seed can make them rich but its impossible, the luckiest you would get is new wallet address  Grin

By using a random combination of words as you say, it is certainly straightforward to hack a wallet but for the possibility of getting a wallet containing hundreds or thousands of dollars, I think that 1: 1000 will probably succeed, because every vocabulary used certainly has difference so that it is very unlikely we can get a wallet that is valuable, especially wallet owners who have assets of thousands of dollars certainly will not save their assets without a strong password combination or maybe they will store their assets in a wallet that is really safe and difficult to hack.

It took a very long time to get 12 matching words from thousands of randomized words. To recover a wallet is not an easy job, if you succeed, not necessarily a wallet that you managed to hack full of valuable coins that are in accordance with the time you have wasted.

That is very impossible to happen dude. Do you think that would be easy to do it in the actual manner? its easy to say but hard to apply.
even you know the number of combinations is astronomical, that still hard to track. You must always remember that things, hacking any wallet
through phrase is a very very difficult things to happen.

different ways on customs with the chance as might to reveal of balance on wallet as users with preparedness on keeping of security on machine with the access to internet helps as least on risks to lose as threat of hacking.

Wallet hack through seed phrase generator is impossible. These words are generated in a unique astronomical manner which by just combining words won't get you anywhere near cracking one wallet phrase. Seed wallets are hacked when seed phrase are exposed not by combination of just random words.

At first, this is a crime attempt and secondly no matter how hard you try you will never get a working 12 recovery words that have coins in it, i dare you to give a try and i bet you will spend years with 0 result, many people thinks recovery seed are weak well they should die trying

it will not be as easy as you imagine, there are thousands of words out there used for phrase words and when you start randomizing every word it will always fail and will only waste your time even though you have tried it many times

Lets say the words are lock to 1,000 words to random. (this is very minimal)
Then you need to have 12 correct phrases to unlock a wallet, you can't random it right?
therefore you have:
(1000 x 999 x 998 x 997 x 996 x 995 x 994 x 993 x 992 x 991 x 990 x 989 ) / 1 = HuhHuhHuhHuhHuhHuh??////
Good luck on your chance! if i were you will just bet on LOTTO, you have a better chance, you might won 10 X JACKPOT than having 1 correct on your plan.

In theory, Yes, but it could take a lifetime. Even if you're lucky and you steal that money, I think this man will find a way to get it back if it's a huge amount.

With 12 or 24 words used to create a Wallet, it is difficult to repeat the situation on other users. Of course it can still happen but the probability is extremely small, you can use the wallet application with a secondary password when creating the wallet to ensure more security.

Of course you're right.  But the chance of success is very small.  This is the same as spitting in the sea.  This has not yet occurred since the selection of passwords in which more than 8 characters will take several light years.  And about 12 words, I’m even afraid to imagine this number.  It is very huge.

I feel it is impossible to get any fully correct passphrase of a wallet as these passphrases change randomly and no one knows which word will be placed at which no.

I thought of something different sometimes ago, that apart from the passphrase, you could try to do some permutations and combinations on the private key of a wallet to generate another address and eventually get a wallet with funds. This is not what i would want to do though, because it's as good as saying that such person is a scammer, because you are looking forth to rip from where you did not sow.

My intention is also not to hack anyone. Just a curiosity.

One thing I saw a lot of people get wrong in this thread: wallets come with a predefined set of words. It's not random words from the dictionary. The words you can use are actually limited. Just look at the source code for popular wallets and you'll find a file like words.txt or something.  So you'd be choosing words from there, not from the universal dictionary.
There are something that are better left unsaid or discussed in the public, I don’t think it is wise at this period to be discussing things like it when we know that it has its negative side too, I know we might be thinking it from the positive side, but we have to many evil people in this forum that what is being discussed here would turn to an idea for them act on as trial and see if it will be possible for them to be able to carry out their evil hacking successfully.

I remember breaking of prison became very rampant in my country after prison break became popular movie then to the extent of even showing it to them in the prison, and because of so many of the breaking ideas they had in the movie, many people too were trying some of them and somewhere successful.

Actually you dont need to struggle with that phrasess or words just put authenticator or put it in private safe,this is how basically i do but in many wallet that i have theres no word like that just a private key and authenticator only.

You can try random words on passphrase but will not work because only some words in some orders will generate a wallet, so is even hard than you think to can generate a wallet where are crypto coins. And there are some people who put extra word on passphrase and will be even hard to get a valid one, and also there are hardware wallets who give 24 words passphrase.
They are made up of numbers and lowercase letters, capital letters in a random way with a series of random techniques. You need a robust set to try to find a logical sequence. Some need to have a 24-hour long facade with a random sequence of characters, and to see the link between them becomes difficult. So give up your stupid thoughts in the hope of finding anything interesting.

You can calculate the possibility, and is very tiny + I believe there is a very simple solution for that as other sites have it for brute force hack. Ad it is CAPTCHA, it will not allow to iterate so easily and it will just not be worth it.
