may be with high perfomance computer with high bandwidth speed could achieve the task with brute force but as the public and private key of bitcoin consist of randomly generated number so and t doesn't have any connection with dictionary words so brute force also might fail or could take a long time and be before the success system could ban the hacing system.

i like how this will pop up every few weeks or month, it certainly an interesting discussion

with the current technology is not possible, but a quantum computer can break the ecdsa which is one of the step to generate the address

and also there is no way to know if a collision hapened or not, we just assume no, because of the high impossibility

Bitcoin system is safe by nature.
In general, hacking incidents come at the expense of user mistakes.
As far as I know there is an estimation of the seed words by the brute force method.

Is it possible to attack only the bitcoin address? For example, I have a BTC address. And there is a very high amount of BTC at this btc address.

Is this BTC address hackable?
According to Me it's not Possible Because If you want to Hack the Bitcoin Address and Want to Have a Access to the Bitcoin Address Funds then you need to Have the Private Keys Of the BTC Address Only Then you Can Able to Transfer the Bitcoins to Another address........

Glad to see that the answer is a resounding no.  Smiley

Amen to that, got my confidence for sure. Yet still always protect yourself in any event.

This is possible but no advantage of profit or profit by hack a given adress .
Actually all data are in the internet , so it is 100% possible to find .
But it is not a simple world or simple to read at the internet , It is seated of words/alphabates .
If you will use a super computer to search the bitcoin private key for a particular adress to hack then you super computer will take 10-50 years to find .
But Herr main thing is a computer can't work for such a long time period continuously and no one can spent electricity for this worst work .
So here it is better to say that it is unbackable , Or we can say it is fully safe to use bitcoin without worrying .

Don't forget about luck. It would be 13.2 billion years if in the very last second of that 13.2 billion years and you happened across the correct private key. In reality, you would come across it sometime sooner, right?

No.

In reality, you will never come across it as long as the address was generated from a truly random private key.

13.2 billion years is the time to generate 289 bitcoin addresses if you continuously generate 1 billion addresses per second every second without interruption the entire time.  There are 2160 possible addresses.

In reality, you would not find it in the very last second of that 13.2 billion years or any other time in 13.2 billion years. You would have a 0.000000000000000000000285% chance of finding the right key in the first 13.2 billion years. In reality, you would need to continue for multiple billions of universes to even have a 1 in a million shot of stumbling across a working key.

Side thought, what is stopping people from importing random bitcoin private keys at a mass rate.

The money it would cost to run that much computing power, and the futility in wasting all that money with effectively 0% chance of gaining any revenue.

With the growing number of users and addresses used, at some point they would get lucky with that too, right?

No.  And they'd get FAR more bitcoins FAR faster by actually mining instead of wasting computing power on such a useless effort.

Maybe its possible after all there is a saying that "no system is safe"
if you could trace the BTC address of the user its more likely they are using an online wallet stored in a website or they are storing their Bitcoins on their own computer and maybe both using 2FA verification for more security. So just knowing the pasword of a bitcoin wallet is not enough cause you need to bypass the 2FA.

The only option is knowing what type of encryption and algorithm being use to produce this private keys and try to create your own exploit to crack it. Hacking bitcoin wallets is not impossible it's just very hard.

Actually, I want to know how to attack the bitcoin address.
Get an address with a high amount of bitcoin in it. How can a hacker attack this address? There is no other information. There's only address information and bitcoin amount.

This is actually very easy. 

1) buy a pretty good quality computer.  Best if fully dedicated and separate from your normal computer.
2) download and install Vanitygen
3) 64 vanitygen64 (64 is faster and works better than normal vanitygen)
4) start scan on the address like this at the command line: vanitygen64 1FuckYouc6zrtHbnqcHdhrSVhcxgpJgfds

It will take some time for sure.  But soon you will have the key for that address. 

Don't let the morons around here tell you it is impossible.  That is just plain wrong.  It is scientifically provable that this works.  Dumbasses who don't understand statistics love declaring this impossible.  Vanitygen guesses millions of times per second.  With enough seconds, it is not impossible. 


Lol I love your word soon...
it is quiet quick when you want an adress which start with some letters and that you don't care about the rest.
But if you are targetting a precise and full address, here is a table for an estimate of time :

vanity    difficulty    average time
1B    22    < 1s
1Bi    1,330    < 1s
1Bit    77,178    < 1s
1Bitc    4,476,342 (4.48E+6)    < 10s
1Bitco    259,627,881 (2.6E+8)    3 minutes
1Bitcoi    15,058,417,127 (1.506E+10)    3 hours
1Bitcoin    8.7339E+11    1 week
1BitcoinE    5.0657E+13    1 year
1BitcoinEa    2.9381E+15    60 years
1BitcoinEat    1.7041E+17    3,500 years
1BitcoinEate    9.8837E+18    200,000 years
1BitcoinEater    5.7325E+20    11,700,000 years
1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSend    1.6209E+47    3.3E+33 or 3.3 decillion years.

So yeah if several thousand of years is soon for you, sure start it now Wink


I said you have to buy a 'good quality computer'.  You probably have a piece of shit you got at Radio Shack 10 years ago.

Yes.  You said "good quality computer."

You also said "millions of times per second."

It is reasonable to assume that millions of times per second means less than 1,000,000,000 per second.

If you can guess 1,000,000,000 per second:

  • It will take you less than 1 second        to try 229 keys.
  • It will take you less than 1 minute         to try 235 keys.
  • It will take you less than 1 hour            to try 241 keys.
  • It will take you less than 1 day              to try 246 keys.
  • It will take you less than 1 week            to try 249 keys.
  • It will take you less than 1 month          to try 252 keys.
  • It will take you less than 1 year             to try 254 keys.
  • It will take you less than 1 decade          to try 258 keys.
  • It will take you less than 1 century         to try 261 keys.
  • It will take you less than 1 millennium    to try 264 keys.
  • It will take you less than 10 billion years to try 288 keys.
  • It will take you MORE THAN 13.2 BILLION YEARS to try 289 keys.

The universe is estimated to only be 13.2 billion years old right now.

So if you started at the big bang, and continuously generated 1 billion addresses per second, right now you still wouldn't have generated even one billionth of one percent of all the possible addresses.  Odds are nearly certain that you still wouldn't have found the private key for the address you started with.



Don't forget about luck. It would be 13.2 billion years if in the very last second of that 13.2 billion years and you happened across the correct private key. In reality, you would come across it sometime sooner, right?

there are already several people that made a script to do this.. the way the system works there is really nothing stopping someone from generating the same address someone else already has.

while this is entirely possible.. and i do believe you about the someday someone somewhere will generate an address collision by accident.. but when this happens that address will most likely have zero coins in it because of the way the new wallets sweep the address when you spend and send change to a new one.


but it is so highly improbable that you will never be able to do it on purpose on a certain address.. ever.. not even once.

Did you try maybe googling it first? Ugh. No. If bitcoins are hackable then everyone on earth is fucked because banking uses the same encryption SHA256. Don't worry about it. A much more likely way to lose your bitcoins would be someone hacking your computer, stealing a paper wallet or robbing you at gunpoint.
