How do people steal crypto wallets via malware? : malware | Torhoo darknet markets
I've seen countless projects on github of wallet stealers. They work as intended, but the problem is you just get the wallet files, you still need the password to get in the wallet and drain the crypto.
As far as I know, cracking those passwords is not a realistic solution as it would take way too long.
So how do people actually steal wallets? How do they use the wallet files they get from their stealer?
Do people just keylog the victims until they get the password? That seems like a lot of work/time and not scalable at all.
- Clipper malware -> basically this redirects the transactions that the person is trying to send to a legittimate account and redirects it to yours
- Phishing sites -> you probably know what this is
- Infostealer malware -> a malware that can extract all login details on a machine, if you're aiming for windows, you'll have to learn the DPAPI to decrypt the locally stored passwords, for other OS' I don't know.
