Hey everyone. Recently I found a unique method to spot fake wallet.dat files.
Wallets can be faked at least in 2 ways.

1. By changing the iteration number of the hash itself (I'm still looking how to spot fake iterations. The probability that a wallet have fake iteration inserted in wallet hash is kind of low).
2. By changing public key with a key that has amount. (My method will spot this type of fake)

The method is entirely created and developed by me. After months of investigation, I can spot with a precise level : 99.9% fake wallets that does not have private key, or have a wrong one mapped to public key. Unfortunately there is a very big business with fake wallet.dat, that's why I am willing to help people that are looking for forgotten password of wallet.dat. Also I would like to discuss with more wallet crackers, in order to develop cracking knowledge and share our experience.

Still no-one answered me.....
I would really like to understand what you mean: So you are saying in 2) that someone can change the public key inside the wallet to one that has a balance - so even if you crack the private key it won't open the wallet - as it not the correct key pair?
So when opening such a wallet in bitcoin core - would i see the correct public address? OR the fake public address or both?
if the public key showing a balance is fake, surely there would be recent transactions?
For example a wallet that only has transactions from 2015 would not be fake right?
