README.md

Mersenne Twister 32 bit seeding => bx consumption pattern => direct elliptic curve key

This is a special and unusual way of generating keys directly from the PRNG output without any BIP39 or BIP32 hashing or derivations.

See libbitcoin-explorer bx-ec-new for details.

Victims could have used a combination of bx seed and bx ec-new to generate weak keys in this range.

Observed Usage

  • We only investigated usage with Bitcoin.
  • Compressed and uncompressed pubkeys
