Guide
Seedx is a powerful tool designed for parsing, cleaning, and managing seeds, private keys, and other secrets from various data sources. It supports multiple languages and is fully compatible with BIP39. This guide explains how to use Seedx effectively to maximize your extraction results.
Interface Overview
The Seedx interface provides intuitive access to all extraction features and settings. The main panel allows you to configure your extraction parameters, while the output area displays progress information and results.
Configuration Steps
Follow these steps to properly set up and use Seedx for optimal results:
Select the Source
Choose a file or folder that Seedx will process. The tool recursively scans all files and subfolders in the selected source to extract seeds, private keys, and other secrets.
Seedx will automatically identify and process compatible files based on their extensions.
Set the Thread Count
Enter the number of threads to use for processing. This parameter controls how many parallel operations Seedx will perform.
- Optimal setting: Match your CPU core count (e.g., 4 cores = 4 threads)
- Default recommendation: 8 threads for general use
- High-performance systems: 16-32 threads if available
Choose the File Mode
Select the strategy for processing files or folders:
Processes all files and folders found in the source location.
This is the simplest option and works well when all your source files potentially contain valuable data.
Specify Secret Types
Select the types of secrets you want to extract:
Extracts BIP39-compatible seed phrases (typically 12, 18, or 24 words).
Seedx identifies valid mnemonic phrases in multiple languages and formats.
Configure AI Settings
For image recognition, Seedx integrates with external AI providers such as OpenAI.
Start and Monitor Parsing
Click the Start button to begin the extraction process.
The interface will display real-time progress information including:
- Files processed
- Seeds/keys found
- Processing speed
- Remaining files
You can click the Stop button at any time to halt the process. Already processed results will be saved.
Output and Results
Advanced Usage Tips
- Thread Management: For CPU-intensive operations (like image processing), use threads equal to your core count. For I/O operations (like scanning many small files), use 2-4x your core count.
- File Selection: Use the "Specific" file mode with targeted regex patterns to focus on the most promising files first.
- Processing Order: Process text-based files first before moving to more resource-intensive formats like images or PDFs.
Security Considerations
Extracted seed phrases and private keys provide direct access to cryptocurrency funds. Handle this sensitive data with appropriate security measures and ensure you have legal authorization to access the files being processed.
Troubleshooting
By following this guide, you'll be able to efficiently extract and manage seed phrases, private keys, and other sensitive information from a wide variety of data sources using Seedx.
