PDA BRUTE FORCER

Find Program Derived Addresses (PDAs) with specific properties

ℹ️ ABOUT PDA BRUTE FORCING

WHAT ARE PDAs

✓Program Derived Addresses are deterministic addresses

✓Generated from seeds and program ID

✓Used for program-controlled accounts

✓Essential for Solana program architecture

BRUTE FORCE FEATURES

⚡Search with custom constraints

⚡Variable seed ranges for iteration

⚡Address pattern matching

⚡Real-time progress tracking

USE CASES

🎯Find vanity PDAs for branding

🎯Optimize gas costs with short addresses

🎯Research program address spaces

🎯Discover address patterns

HOW TO USE:

1. Enter the program ID you want to search
2. Configure seeds (static values or variable ranges)
3. Set address constraints (prefix, suffix, contains)
4. Review difficulty estimation
5. Start search and monitor progress

PERFORMANCE NOTES:

• Longer constraints take exponentially more time
• Large variable ranges can be computationally expensive
• Consider starting with shorter patterns
• Monitor difficulty estimation before searching

💡 PDA STRUCTURE & EXAMPLES

How PDAs are Generated:

PDA = findProgramAddress([seed1, seed2, ...], programId)

1. Seeds are concatenated with bump value (255 → 0)
2. SHA256 hash is computed with program ID
3. First valid address (not on curve) is returned
4. Bump value ensures address is not a valid public key

Seed Types & Usage:

Static Seeds

String: "user", "token", "vault"

Public Key: User wallet, token mint

Number: Fixed IDs, timestamps

Use: Predictable, deterministic addresses

Variable Seeds

Range: 0-1000, 1-255

Type: u8, u16, u32, u64

Use: Finding vanity addresses

Note: Computationally expensive

Common PDA Patterns:

USER ACCOUNTS

Seeds: ["user", user_pubkey]
Purpose: User-specific program accounts
Example: User profiles, settings, state

TOKEN ACCOUNTS

Seeds: ["token", owner, mint]
Purpose: Token-specific data
Example: Token balances, metadata

GAME STATE

Seeds: ["game", player, level_id]
Purpose: Game-specific state
Example: Player progress, items, stats

AUTHORITY

Seeds: ["authority"]
Purpose: Program authority/admin
Example: Protocol admin, treasury

Constraint Examples:

Constraint	Example	Difficulty	Use Case
Prefix	Cool...	Medium	Branding, recognition
Suffix	...DOGE	Medium	Token themes
Contains	...777...	Hard	Lucky numbers
Multiple	A...Z	Very Hard	Perfect vanity
None	Any address	Easy	Testing, research

Performance Optimization:

FASTER SEARCHES:

• Use shorter constraint patterns (1-3 chars)

• Limit variable ranges (max 1000 values)

• Prefer prefix over suffix constraints

• Use case-insensitive matching

• Start with smaller seed combinations

AVOID:

• Very long constraint patterns (5+ chars)

• Large variable ranges (10,000+ values)

• Multiple complex constraints together

• Case-sensitive matching unless needed

• Too many seeds (limit to 4-5 max)

Example: Finding User Account PDA

// Program ID
const PROGRAM_ID = "YourProgramID..."

// Seeds configuration
const seeds = [
  {
    type: "string",
    value: "user",
    description: "Static prefix"
  },
  {
    type: "publickey", 
    value: "UserWalletAddress...",
    description: "User wallet"
  },
  {
    type: "variable",
    variableRange: { min: 0, max: 100, type: "u8" },
    description: "User ID"
  }
]

// Constraints
const constraints = {
  prefix: "Cool",    // Address starts with "Cool"
  caseSensitive: false
}

// This will search for PDAs like:
// CoolXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX...
// Generated from seeds: ["user", userWallet, 0-100]
