wack - Wallet Ack

🔥 Inspired by Ack 🔥 this is wallet ack (wack). It can read any Bitcoin (or compatible fork) wallet.dat file and tell you lots of stuff about it, allow you to search it, perform forensic analysis on corrupt files and various other things.

Here is a typical HUSH wallet.dat :

$ ./wack

Total: 5158 keys in 15 key types

This particular wallet came from a Hush 2.0 node. You can tell it is not a BTC mainnet wallet because those do not have things such as a zkey, which is the private key of a zaddr.

CLI Arguments

By default, wack reads a wallet.dat in the current directory. To specify a different location, give it as an argument. For example, the default location of a Bitcoin wallet on OS X:

./wack ~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin/wallet.dat

Security

Never show the output of this program to anyone, unless you know exactly what it means!

This program has read-only access to the wallet it opens, the code cannot write to the wallet.dat in any way. In fact, the Perl library we use does not support writing to the kind of BerkeleyDB format wallet.dat is in, our library limits us to read-only access.

You should read and understand every line in wack before you run it on a wallet that has any value.

Compatible Coins

• Bitcoin
• Hush
• Zcash
• Komodo + all asset chains
• Any codebase which uses BTC wallet.dat format

Currently Monero/CryptoNite wallets are not supported, but that feature may be implemented in the future. Patches welcome!
