Hello, I have about 6-7 hard drives to look for some bitcoin wallets I most likely deleted. I read through some posts and figured I could use winhex (could not get pywallet to work for me) and search for those magic numbers: magic = [
b'\x01\x30\x82\x01\x13\x02\x01\x01\x04\x20',
b'\x02\x42\x60\x8D\x10\x40\x01\x01\x00\x00',
b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x62\x31\x05\x00', # Bitcoin Core wallet.dat
b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x62\x32\x05\x00', # Bitcoin Core wallet.dat (testnet)
b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x62\x33\x05\x00', # Bitcoin Core wallet.dat (regtest)
b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x62\x34\x05\x00', # Bitcoin Core wallet.dat (signet)
b'ELECBUM', # Electrum wallet
b'BIE1\x00', # Bither wallet
b'Mini', # Mini private key format
b'passphrase', # Blockchain.info wallet (encrypted)
b'encpriv', # Blockchain.info wallet (encrypted)
b'pmtu', # MultiBit wallet
b'Extended Private Key', # Extended private key (xprv)
b'Extended Public Key', # Extended public key (xpub)
b'\x80', # WIF for mainnet
b'\xEF', # WIF for testnet
]
I am unsure as to what I am supposed to do if I find them. As an example, I found this "0000000062310500" on one hard drive but unsure of the next step. I am gathering information as I search each drive for any of these magic numbers. Any info is appreciated and will gladly share anything I find.
