Now, to the real reson for the post - I just noticed that after almost a year of no activity, someone has started draining a few of these addresses again. I wonder if this means some more optimized brainwallet cracker has been developed, or someone has built a cracking machine that's much faster than previous attempts.
There was a brainflayer3 program which was supposed to have been much quicker. However it seems to have disappeared from github.
I wasn't able to compile it as there were 3 or 4 differences in the make file. I fixed 3, but the last one defeated me.
If you want the code, I will send it to you.
