Re: 2009 Bitcoin Wallet Help & Possible Find

https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet also have ability to scan for wallet.dat file directly on disk partition. Although i've no idea whether it perform better than FindBTC or not.

--snip--

I've installed and looked over Pywallet and it doesn't seem that is can scan for a wallet file. Do you know the command from Pywallet off hand?

If you want to scan the HDD or raw copy of the HDD directly, use following command

Code:

python3 pywallet.py --recover --recov_device INSERT_PATH_HERE --recov_size xxxMo --recov_outputdir INSERT_PATH_HERE

Here's an example (i've tried on my linux device),

Code:

sudo python3 pywallet.py --recover --recov_device /dev/vda1 --recov_size 28024Mo --recov_outputdir ./pywallet_output

Few things to note,

Make sure folder on parameter --recov_outputdir already created.
You'll need admin/root permission if you want to scan the drive directly.
You must specify size of the drive or file manually.

Great command, though, there isn't a recover command in Jack Jack pywallet. Is there another pywallet you're referring to?
