## README

# Wallet Finder (findwallet)
> Crawl through your files and find any bitcoin core wallet files.

Wallet Finder scrapes through your specified paths to find hex data corresponding to a bitcoin core wallet.
Unless the file is compressed, or chunked, it will always find it regardless of bitcoin core version, file extension, or any non-destructive data modification.
Starting v2.0, It can also extract private keys from corrupt wallets.

## Installation

```sh
npm install findwallet -g
```

## Usage example

```sh
Zee's Wallet Finder.

findwallet -i [inputPath/inputFile] -o [outputFile]

 -i     : Required. Specify which path(s) to scan directly or through a newline separated file.
 -o     : Specify optional output file where to store wallet paths if any exist.
 -h     : Displays this message.
```
Tip : paths.txt is an example of an inputFile.

## Dependencies

This project uses [fast-glob](https://github.com/mrmlnc/fast-glob), and [yargs](https://github.com/yargs/yargs/) for cli functionality.
For extraction of private keys, [bs58](https://github.com/cryptocoinjs/bs58) and [wif](https://github.com/bitcoinjs/wif) dependencies have been added.
I may push a version in the future to remove the later dependencies and implement Base58 encoding locally. 

## Release History

* 2.0.0
    * Added extraction functionality! If the wallet is not encrypted, the program will export both compressed and uncompressed private keys to a text file in the same folder.
* 1.0.0
    * Initial commit
