The whole security premise of crypto lies in the fact that you can't generate a private key from an address. Otherwise, anyone would be able to generate anyone else's private key, and the whole system would be a joke 🙂

Programs like profanity use brute force to find one of numerous private keys that corresponds to an address with a specific pattern. In theory, there are chances for you to brute force any private key from a known address [yours, or someone else's], but in practice the number space used is so enormous, that it would take you gazillions of years to find that specific private key.
