Am I right in understanding that this is somehow checking every private key on the page against every single wallet with money? How can it do that so fast?

  It derives the public keys from the private keys and then check these.

    Thanks. So each of these potential private keys that show up on a page would only have one corresponding public key? I guess I forgot how basic private/public key encryption works (again).

      yes! I recommend my book real-world cryptography if you want to brush up on that :D

  Almost any 32 bytes long string is basically a valid private key.
