This is the real pywallet:
I still wouldn't run it on an online system though, and only on a backup of your data. With the right precautions your data can't be stolen even if there is malware installed.
How to dumpwallet DOGE/DASH/LTC (core .dat files) with that jackjack pywallet? I don't think it works.
Any ideas?

Check this command mentioned by @HCP

I believe that the otherversion value for Dogecoin is 30... so your command should look something like:
Code:
python pywallet.py --dumpwallet --wallet=wallet.dat --datadir=/path/to/folder/with/wallet/dat --otherversion=30 --passphrase=yourpassphrase

When you do that, you should see the addresses output start with a "D"... and the "sec" values should start with a "6" or "Q"... they should then import into Dogecoin wallet.



That's why I was asking, because this thing which I showed you seems to say to do the job but I'm afraid of it a bit because seems a .exe and might be infected and it was just posted 2 months ago and it looks really fishy. So I was asking if this thing works or is infected or not.

I doubt anyone know without testing it on isolated environment (e.g. install Windows on VirtualBox, then run the application).
