Ethereum-Cryptography

This project uses secp256k1, keccak256 hashing, and BIP39 for generating vanity addresses, implementing secure cryptographic operations and creating mnemonic phrases.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

You will need to have the following installed:

1. npm
2. node.js
3. ethereum-cryptography

Installing

a) Create a new project in this directory bash npm init -y

b) Install ethereum-cryptography bash npm install ethereum-cryptography

c) Edit the package.json file to include the following:

"main": "ether.js"
"type": "module",

Running the code

Run the script using the following command:

node ether.js

The output

"hex_address: '0xabcd5ddad1389a502cbf75fe01b1c6ecaac2a2a4", 
"printKey: 'private key in hex here"

Verify the address by using etherscan

Go to etherscan.io and paste the address in the search bar to verify the address.

Import private key into an ethereum wallet

You can import the private key into an ethereum wallet to access the funds.

Extras

You can also use the commented code to generate memonic phrases and use them to generate private keys and addresses.
