## Dissecting the Geth (Go-Ethereum) keystore files using Raku tools
Article: https://gitlab.com/pheix-research/talks/-/blob/main/advent/2023.md
### TOC
1. Intro: The idea behind this research
- signing transactions locally;
- integration with telegram bot — add new accounts to Ethelia public node.
2. What is the Ethereum (Web3) keystore file;
- overview;
- actual scope (real world tasks):
* Tools (aka hacks) to get private key from keystore file;
* Importing new accounts (private keys) into Geth client.
3. Implementation in Raku
- Initial state (it looks promising):
* libscrypt via `Crypt::LibScrypt`;
* AES128-CTR algo via `Gcrypt` and `OpenSSL`;
* UUID;
- Problems (are on the most important steps);
- Let's raise a few Pull Requests
* `Crypt::LibScrypt`;
* my new modules as intermediate step.
- Yet another binding for GNU Libgcrypt;
- Upgrade `Bitcoin::Core::Secp256k1`.
5. `Node::Ethereum::KeyStore::V3`
- Quick start;
- `ethkeystorev3-cli` utility;
- Dependencies.
6. Afterword
- Ethelia service;
- Registering via Telegram Bot;
- Demo pitch
