• You should now see a list of passwords in the terminal.
• Brute_force38 will now utilize all CPUs to test each password against your BIP38 private key.
• Invalid passwords are saved in invalid_secrets.json and will be imported next try.
• If the correct password has been found by brute_force38 the program will terminate the search.
• The correct password will be saved in valid_secret.json.

Configuration

1. Edit the config.json and paste the publicAddress and encryptedPrivateKey values of your BIP38 encoded key.
2. Edit the secrets.js so that it will return an array of all secrets you want to test on your BIP38 encoded key.
