Title: How to read wallet files programatically from Multibit Classic?
Post by: racezefi on March 30, 2017, 12:54:29 AM
Basically need to read the addresses and keys of a few wallets for which I have the password.
How can I decode them?
Any pointers to tools or where to look in the code?

Thanks.

You read them the same way the wallet does. Multibit Classic is open source as well, you just need to find the class/piece of code that does that: https://github.com/keepkey/multibit/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=wallet_password&type= I guess reading BackupManagerTest.java could help you, start from the part saying "Read the file back and decrypt it."

You may not want to help this guy. He seems to be a leading suspect in at least one case of bitcoin wallet theft (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1847935.0).

He released some software called "Bitcoin Find and Recover" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1382650.0) which was touted as a GUI for btcrecover... however the github for this project has disappeared, and one user who attempted to use this Bitcoin Find and Recover had his wallets emptied...

very suspicious that suddenly he pops up asking for help with "a few wallets for which he has the password"  ??? :o :-\
