README.md

Mersenne Twister 32 bit seeding => bx consumption pattern => BIP32 master key

This is a special and unusual way of generating keys with BIP32, but without 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
