sand leek
experimental vanity onion address whatchamacallit
Usage
Typical usage is something like
sand-leek -s mycoolsite -t 4 > key.pem
to spawn 4 worker threads each looking for a key for an address starting with 'mycoolsite'. It might find a private key for any of the addresses:
mycoolsite5avt44.onion
mycoolsiteane4hb.onion
mycoolsitewtetnf.onion
mycoolsiterkom5h.onion
or a large number of other valid addresses. Beware of using too long a search. While you may luck out and get a key quickly, on average, it may take a very long time to crack a long search.
Platforms Supported
Travis CI performs automated builds and tests on:
- OSX
- Linux
platforms with both gcc and clang.
Builds and tests have been successfully carried out for:
- Windows with MinGW on Linux - I cannot support coloured output for Windows
- Solaris 10
but these are not automated, nor are they part of the primarily supported platforms.
Future work
I am currently finishing and tidying GPU capability on sand leek, through OpenCL.
Benchmarks
Preliminary benching shows sand leek to be faster than some of the other similar tools out there when pushing work across cores.

Inspiration
sand leek was greatly inspired by schallot, escahlot and scallion.
Compile-time flags
SAND_LEEK_DISABLE_COLOUR- Don't compile in any support for coloured output. Recommended for Windows builds unless support can be had for ANSI escape sequences
