Bitcoin Hardware Wallet Interaction scripts

This project contains several scripts for interacting with Bitcoin hardware wallets.

Prerequisites

Python 3 is required. The libraries and udev rules for each device must also be installed.

Install all of the libraries using pip (in virtualenv or system):

pip3 install hidapi # HID API needed in general
pip3 install trezor[hidapi] # Trezor One
pip3 install btchip-python # Ledger Nano S
pip3 install keepkey # KeepKey
pip3 install ckcc-protocol # Coldcard
pip3 install pyaes # For digitalbitbox

Install

git clone https://github.com/achow101/HWI.git
cd HWI

Usage

To use, first enumerate all devices and find the one that you want to use with

./hwi.py enumerate

Once the device type and device path is known, issue commands to it like so:

./hwi.py -t <type> -d <path> <command> <command args>

Device Support

The below table lists what devices and features are supported for each device.
