lightning-hsmtool -- Tool for working with software HSM secrets of lightningd
|
||
|
|
=============================================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
lightning-hsmtool method [ARGUMENTS]...
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**lightning-hsmtool** performs various operations on the `hsm_secret`
|
||
|
|
file used by the software HSM component of **lightningd**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can be used to encrypt and decrypt the `hsm_secret` file,
|
||
|
|
as well as derive secrets used in channel commitments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
METHODS
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**encrypt** *hsm\_secret* *password*
|
||
|
|
Encrypt the `hsm_secret` file so that it can only be decrypted at
|
||
|
|
**lightningd** startup.
|
||
|
|
You must give the option **--encrypted-hsm** to **lightningd**.
|
||
|
|
The password of the `hsm_secret` file will be asked whenever you
|
||
|
|
start **lightningd**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**decrypt** *hsm\_secret* *password*
|
||
|
|
Decrypt the `hsm_secret` file that was encrypted with the **encrypt**
|
||
|
|
method.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**dumpcommitments** *node\_id* *channel\_dbid* *depth* *hsm\_secret* \[*password*\]
|
||
|
|
Show the per-commitment secret and point of up to *depth* commitments,
|
||
|
|
of the specified channel with the specified peer,
|
||
|
|
identified by the channel database index.
|
||
|
|
Specify *password* if the `hsm_secret` is encrypted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**guesstoremote** *p2wpkh* *node\_id* *max\_channel\_dbid* *hsm\_secret* \[*password*\]
|
||
|
|
Brute-force the private key to our funds from a remote unilateral close
|
||
|
|
of a channel, in a case where we have lost all database data except for
|
||
|
|
our `hsm_secret`.
|
||
|
|
The peer must be the one to close the channel (and the funds will remain
|
||
|
|
unrecoverable until the channel is closed).
|
||
|
|
*max\_channel\_dbid* is your own guess on what the *channel\_dbid* was,
|
||
|
|
or at least the maximum possible value,
|
||
|
|
and is usually no greater than the number of channels that the node has
|
||
|
|
ever had.
|
||
|
|
Specify *password* if the `hsm_secret` is encrypted.
|
||

**lightning-hsmtool**.
