A powerful utility to hunt down Bitcoin private keys from deleted wallet.dat files or damaged hard drives.
If you accidentally deleted your Bitcoin Core wallet or formatted your disk, this tool can help. It bypasses the file system and scans the raw data directly, looking for the unique "fingerprint" (ASN.1 signature) of Bitcoin private keys to recover them from the digital wreckage.The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is the advanced/premium version.
