Version: 1.0.0
Release Date: 2025-05-09
BitPeek is a lightweight CLI tool for analyzing Bitcoin Base58 addresses.
It focuses on decoding, structural inspection, and verifying checksums in a secure offline environment.
Designed as an educational and diagnostic utility, bitpeek.py helps demystify how Bitcoin addresses are encoded and validated.
- ๐ฆ Decodes Base58Check Bitcoin addresses (P2PKH, P2SH)
- ๐ Extracts version byte and payload (RIPEMD-160 hash)
- ๐งฎ Verifies double SHA256 checksum
- ๐ Displays entropy-related information: character distribution and uniqueness
- ๐ฅ๏ธ Fully interactive CLI with colored output (via
colorama) - ๐ 100% offline operation โ no internet access required
- โ
bitpeek.pyโ Terminal-based tool - โ Base58 decoding with correct padding logic
- โ Version byte parsing and address type mapping
- โ RIPEMD-160 hash extraction from payload
- โ Checksum validation using double SHA256
- โ
Terminal output with:
- Full decoded hex
- Address classification
- Risk heuristics and symbol entropy stats
- โ Clear UX with input prompts and clean exit handling
- Input must be a valid Base58Check Bitcoin address
- Malformed addresses or invalid checksums are gracefully rejected
- Entropy score is heuristic and for educational use only
- Results are shown in terminal โ no file output in this version
