Hello everyone, today I am going to show you how to generate a custom .onion URL using Scallion!!!
Let's get started with a list of requirements(View Below)!
    
1.) A set-up Tor hidden service
2.) Scallion (Github: [URL="https://github.com/lachesis/scallion"]https://github.com/lachesis/scallion[/URL])


Referencing on how long it takes to generate a custom address:
    
4 Characters – 10 seconds
5 Characters – 29 Seconds
6 Characters – 1 Minute
7 Characters – 5 to 10 Minutes
8 Characters – 20 Minutes to 1 hour
9 Characters – 2 to 10 Hours
10 Characters – 5 to 10 days


How does Scallion work:
    
1.) Generate RSA key using OpenSSL on the CPU
2.) Send generated RSA key to the GPU
3.) Increase the keys public exponent
4.) Hash the RSA key
5.) If the hashed key is not a partial collision go to step 3
6.) If the key does not pass the sanity checks recommended by PKCS #1 v2.1 (checked on the CPU) go to step 3
7.) Brand new RSA key with partial collision


How To Generate Your Custom .onion
Enter the following command into Scallion and proceed to let the RSA key be generated:
    

scallion -o keys.txt -k 1024 -d 0 prefix (where prefix, is your desired URL name).

^ This will create your (yourcustom)(theremaningnine).onion address

Once the RSA key generation is completed, which will take several hours to several days,
you will have a keys.txt containing the RSA key data.

Copy this data from ============ Begin RSA ============ to ============ End RSA ============ and
paste it into your "private_key" & replace the content of your "hostname" with your new .onion address!
