Does anyone know how the wallet.cipher files are encoded? Or how the encryption of the bitcoin wallet can be split to see which parts are encoded/where the IV and Salt are?
So as I PM'd you... I went ahead and read through the multibit code to figure out the file format for the wallet.cipher files... and how they are meant to be decrypted... Then attempted to recreate that Java code in Python... I did a quick test and it seemed to decrypt my wallet.cipher (using my wallet password) and spat out an unencrypted wallet file containing unecrypted keys... and displayed my addresses and private keys... so I *think* it works...

For anyone who wants to try it or is curious, the "ugly code" is currently here:

the github project
