ethy.py

This little script offers decryption and verification of the existing Ethereum wallets, as well as generation of a new wallet. You can use any utf-8 string as the password, which could provide with better security against the brute-force attack.

Use at your own risk.

Feature

• Decrypt the UTC JSON wallet and see the private key

• Run secp256k1 to make sure the private key is intact and really corresponds to the wallet address

• Generate a wallet

Dependencies

• pycrypto

• pysha3

• ecdsa

                                   # encrypted private key matches the address
ethy.py --show-key mywallet.json   # reveal the private key (secp256k1)

ethy.py --gen > mywallet.json             # generate a regular wallet (1s)
ethy.py --gen --light > mywallet.json     # generate a wallet (fast)
ethy.py --gen --with-key > mywallet.json  # generate a wallet with the given private key
