Reducing the private key through scalar multiplication using the ECPy + Google Colab library

In this article, we will try to show how you can reduce the private key knowing only the leak from the «BLOCKCHAIN ​​FOLBIT LEAKS» list and the public key from «UTXO» .
In the experimental part, we will use the 08ReducePrivateKey scripts and restore the Bitcoin Wallet.

Elliptic curve scalar multiplication is the operation of adding a pointPto the curvektimes.

Q=kP=P+P+P, k times

Pis a point on an elliptic curve , and kis a large natural number .

In any primitive implementations, ECCscalar multiplication is the main computational operation. A key factor in improving efficiency ECCis the implementation of fast scalar multiplication. Therefore, many researchers have proposed various studies of accelerated scalar multiplication .

Let’s use the ECPy library

ECPy provides:

• ECDSA signatures
• Ed25519 signatures
• ECSchnorr signatures
• Borromean signatures
• point operations

In many of our studies, we use the library ECPyandGoogle Colab

Open [TerminalGoogleColab]

Let’s use the «08ReducePrivateKey» repository

git clone https://github.com/demining/CryptoDeepTools.git
cd CryptoDeepTools/08ReducePrivateKey/
ls

Install the ECPy library:

pip3 install ECPy

Python script: maxwell.py , save код and run in terminalGoogle Colab

from ecpy.curves     import Curve,Point

cv = Curve.get_curve('secp256k1')
G  = Point(0x79be667ef9dcbbac55a06295ce870b07029bfcdb2dce28d959f2815b16f81798,

cv)
x  = 0x7fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff5d576e7357a4501ddfe92f46681b20a1
PUBKEY  = x*G
print(PUBKEY)

Run command:

python3 maxwell.py

Result:

(0x3b78ce563f89a0ed9414f5aa28ad0d96d6795f9c63 , 0xc0c686408d517dfd67c2367651380d00d126e4229631fd03f8ff35eef1a61e3c)

Pay attention to the x coordinate

We’ll come back to this public key!

Let’s move on to the experimental part:

We have three different Bitcoin Addresses with a balance 100 BTC or higher from the Bitcoin Rich List

After launch, we receive public keys for all three Bitcoin Addresses.

Let’s make these public keys in the form of coordinate points (x,y):

(0xb3fdc0e84cd77cd018ced1fdd3ea4110d6beb942cfd38c0f6feaffc246e08b97 , 0xfe779e87e4743f55168a476433100abd4cac064be5915cf828185319480b3fb4)

Save the coordinate points (x,y)in a file: Coordinates.txt

BLOCKCHAIN ​​FOLBIT LEAKS

Let’s open the list of known blockchain leaks on 2019 год «BLOCKCHAIN ​​FOLBIT LEAKS»

Let’s copy the value:

dac19ec586ea8aa454fd2e7090e3244cdf75a73bdb1aa970d8b0878e75df3cae

Now let’s do the dot multiplication over all the coordinates of the points by (x,y)applying the leakage value :

Change the maxwell.py code and change the name to scalarEC.py

Let’s addwith open("Coordinates.txt", "rt") as base:

All new coordinates will be saved in a file:SaveBase.txt

B = 0xdac19ec586ea8aa454fd2e7090e3244cdf75a73bdb1aa970d8b0878e75df3cae

Let’s add a value Bfrom the list to the code and save it as a Python script: scalarEC.py

from ecpy.curves     import Curve,Point

with open("Coordinates.txt", "rt") as base:
for line in base.read().splitlines():
Gx, Gy = map(lambda v: int(v, 16), line[1: -1].split(" , "))
    cv = Curve.get_curve('secp256k1')

    P  = Point(Gx,Gy,cv)

    B  = 0xdac19ec586ea8aa454fd2e7090e3244cdf75a73bdb1aa970d8b0878e75df3cae

After scalar multiplication by the leakage value over all coordinate points (x,y), we get new points

Now let’s rewrite these coordinates in the form of uncompressed public keys:

Let’s take a look at this public key:

0465304d24c0edc862843587a96ea700f86e9e70e7801ac7df9efd2de84230c3e77af6d83573849d2368a021e835c5768e1b791c0c1b4cfafb9795058df5f27958

Now we use Pollard’s Kangaroo method to find the private key

Previously, we published an article: «Pollard’s Kangaroo find solutions to the discrete logarithm of secp256k1 PRIVATE KEY + NONCES in a known range»

Let’s use the new code Pollard's Kangaroo from Telariust Python -script: kangaroo.py

Install the gmpy2 module with the command:

sudo apt install python-gmpy2

Next, run the Python script: kangaroo.py

python2 kangaroo.py 32 0465304D24C0EDC862843587A96EA700F86E9E70E7801AC7DF9EFD2DE84230C3E77AF6D83573849D2368A021E835C5768E1B791C0C1B4CFAFB9795058DF5F27958

In the terminal we see that we managed to get "prvkey":

[prvkey#32] 0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000795f9c63

We got a reduced private key for the public key:

0465304D24C0EDC862843587A96EA700F86E9E70E7801AC7DF9EFD2DE84230C3E77AF6D83573849D2368A021E835C5768E1B791C0C1B4CFAFB9795058DF5F27958

Pay attention to the private key:

The latter matches the 8 цифрpublic key «Maxwell’s vanity public key»формате HEX

B = 0xdac19ec586ea8aa454fd2e7090e3244cdf75a73bdb1aa970d8b0878e75df3cae

Now, in order to get a private key for one of the three Bitcoin Addresses, we need to do a modulo division значение Abyзначение B

Privkey = ((A * modinv(B,N)) % N)

Let’s use a Python script: calculate.py

def h(n):
return hex(n).replace("0x","")

def extended_gcd(aa, bb):
lastremainder, remainder = abs(aa), abs(bb)
x, lastx, y, lasty = 0, 1, 1, 0
while remainder:
lastremainder, (quotient, remainder) = remainder, divmod(lastremainder, remainder)
x, lastx = lastx - quotientx, x
y, lasty = lasty - quotienty, y
return lastremainder, lastx * (-1 if aa < 0 else 1), lasty * (-1 if bb < 0 else 1)
def modinv(a, m):
g, x, y = extended_gcd(a, m)
if g != 1:
raise ValueError
return x % m
N = 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364141
A = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000795f9c63
B = 0xdac19ec586ea8aa454fd2e7090e3244cdf75a73bdb1aa970d8b0878e75df3cae
print (h(((A) * modinv(B,N)) % N))

Let ‘s run the Python script: calculate.py

python3 calculate.py

As a result, we will receive a private key in the terminal in HEX format 38717b5161c2e817020a0933e1836dd0127bdef59732d77daca20ccfbf61a7ae
