1) the device itself is a physical attack vector the tamper resistant chip is easily disassembled in practice using fuming nitric acid and acetone and the eeprom an be read revealing the private keys completely bypassing the soft protection of any retarded pin.
2) the client sends the transaction for signing to the device but does not actually check if it gets it back unmodified.

>> No.14056293

The absolute state of nu/biz/

The entire point of a hardware wallet is THE DEVICE ITSELF IS SIGNING THE TRANSACTIONS INSIDE THE SECURE ENCLAVE.

the only thing the client software gets is the completed signed transaction. THIS IS VASTLY DIFFERENT THAN A SOFTWARE WALLET OR A DUMB FUCKING PIECE OF PAPER. A software wallet is decrypting the private keys and using them in the same user environment that everything else on your computer is running on. The encrypted wallet file is sitting on your hard drive and accessible from. Your low end user account. With a hardware wallet, they keys are never exposed because the transaction is signed INSIDE the hardware wallet. The client is sending the destination address and amount to the secure enclave for signature, and gets a completed and signed transaction back.

Let me break this down even further for you assholes in remedial summer classes.

Imagine your wallet is a checkbook, and your private keys are your personal banker who signs all your checks for you. With a hardware wallet, you are putting your banker inside a cage inside your basement and he can't get out, and nobody can get to him. When you want to make a transaction, you fill out a check with the amount and person you're paying. Then you slide that check to the banker inside the secure cage for them to sign off on. The banker gives you the signed check back through the cage. The banker never left the cage, your transaction is signed, and your banker is still in the cage in your basement.

That's the difference you absolute degenerates. Stop needing to be spoonfed everything. And for fuck sake use Trezor they're open source.

Screencap this for the next spoon feeding session.

Wrong. Your paper wallet generator has fucked you over.

https://www.coindesk.com/researcher-discovers-serious-vulnerability-in-paper-crypto-wallet-website

The core of the analysis hinges on WalletGenerator’s original open-source code, available here. Until August 17, 2018 the online code matched the open-source code and the entire project generated wallets using a client-side technique that took in real random entropy and produced a unique wallet. But sometime after that date the two sets of code stopped matching.

The result? The very real possibility that WalletGenerator is giving the same keys to multiple users. To test this, MyCrypto’s researcher ran the generator in bulk and got some odd results.

You call that safe? I have mine split to 12 different locations across two countries and 3 mediums (paper, usb and rocks). My usb is encrypted with decryption key written on two parts on three different papers. For other papers some of them have parts of my private key written in code I invented and only I understand hopefully, others just have key written in plain text. Good luck guessing which one is which, and in which order they go. For my parts number 7 and 9 i use rocks (plain rocks) on 2 different physical locations. Number of rocks, as well as their shape, color and weight combined with a mnemonic I created based on my second pet's name when I was a child tell me the exact private key part. What If I lose one/some parts, you ask? I have the same thing in a different country, but the code is all different, I'm not stupid lol. Any suggestions how to further increase security? My exgf found one of my papers in my closet when she suspected I was cheating on her for being on my phone all the time (I was checking crypto prices) so I had to dump her and do the whole thing from scratch again because I couldn't deal with such security risk.

What do you guys think of using stuff like "shamir secret sharing" or threshold cryptography to split private keys? Loosing a single split wouldn't be disastrous if some scheme like 3 out 5 would be applied.

In another thread on this one anon suggested generating two sets of seed words
Seed phrase 1: this is your main wallet with your main stash.
Seed phrase 2: this is your decoy wallet

1. Set up wallet with seed phrase 1. Move 90% of stash onto that address.
2. If you want to be super cautious, doublecheck that seed phrase 1 is working by using it on a different hardware wallet
3. Wipe wallet with seed phrase number 1 and then re-initiate it with seed phrase number 2. Then move 5% (or whatever) onto it.
4. Secure seed phrase number 1 somewhere offsite
Now you have basically a decoy wallet. Someone steals it and electron microscopes it or whatever, or — and you anons need to fucking take this seriously — comes in an holds gun to your head, or gf’s head or kid’s head or Whatever — you can just unlock decoy wallet and transfer funds while most of funds are safu.

A "hidden" laptop is a lot less conspicuous, but I will agree that it'll be harder to use, regardless, hardware wallet shills think they're secure, when they're really not. 4-8 digits are not going to protect anything, and the device itself screams "steal me" (and kidnap my owner until he squeals) much louder than a random shitty laptop.

>> No.14060962

Agree that these “rubber hose” attacks are scary. Again, this is why one possibility is to keep a little bit on the hardware wallet so you can make the transmission, cough up the pin, whatever.

Then have second (or 3rd or 4rth or nth) seedphrase in a safety deposit box, or maybe spread across a few.

Inb4 “why not just use a paper wallet” Yes that is an option, but seems to have its own headaches, e.g. keeping an airgapped laptop just for that purpose.

>> No.14060992

BTW obviously any security is a tradeoff. Seems to me that another possibility, which doesn’t get discussed enough, is to break your stack up and store different pieces using different tools. Argent wallet looks interesting where they do security through smart contract. Coinbase vault also looks interesting. Both of those put something in where you have 48 hours to unwind a transaction. So, maybe some is in one of those, some in hardware wallet, some in a paper wallet. Don’t put all eggs in one basket and all that.

I won't lie I thought this until I first played with one of these and honestly it's pretty nice. Software was shit chink stuff, but it worked well enough. My reason for never buying one was because I was fixing one for a customer after firmware almost bricked it.

Sorry but who gives a shit if the specific device gets bricked? They are about $70. As long as you have your seed phrase you can just get another and reinitiate it (or wtf its called) with the seed phrase.
