https://github.com/Alex-Jaeger/BitcoinFindAndRecover

Bitcoin find & recover is an open-source crypto currency recovery tool, that builds on top of the great btcrecover by Gurnec https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover, to help any bitcoin user to recover by themselves their lost passwords.
Supports all desktop wallets and a few mobile. Should work for most altcoins wallets, forked from the ones listed below.

Automatizes the searching for wallet files, in files existing and deleted.
It's able to recover partially corrupted MultibitHD wallets.
It also allows the user to create a password list from whatever fragments he or she remembers, to try to regain access with a lost password.
The recovered passwords are saved encrypted using AES.

Works only on Windows and requires .NET 4.0, python 2.7 and a few other prerequisites installed by the setup.

Supports:

- Armory
- Bitcoin-QT
- Bither
- Copay
- Electrum
- mSIGNA
- Multibit
- MultibitHD

## Bitcoin wallet finder



All files will be restored to a folder selected on the GUI. If you chose to recover deleted files, they'll be placed on a sub-folder called "RestoredTemp".
Different sub-folders will be created per wallet. Files copied from already existing files will have the directory structure copied as well. Those recovered from deletion will not, due to a limitation of the file system. Those will be placed on a sub-folder called "recovered", under each wallet's folder.

I based the deleted file recovery work on this great project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kickassundelete/

## Bitcoin password recover



It's basically a GUI for btcrecover, which is very powerful. My idea was to help users work with it, by creating an interface to operate that program in a friendlier manner.
The most important thing to understand is how to create the password tokens, which are basically the different parts you remember of the password.
It allows to either try to recover all the files found by the first part of the program or only recover one file.

I've copied the most important sections of the token creation guide from btcrecover, see here:

thank you looks very interesting.
did you release the GUI? i can't see any github or source forge URL belonging to you.

Hey, thanks for the interest!

Yes, I did. Should have pasted the direct link on the top, editing now:

You can check the pictures of the GUI there.
I suck at GUI design, so if somebody is really bored and thinks it's worth to contribute with that, I'll be more than thankful!

Thanks for the support, guys! Means a lot.

I understand mono still is still only partially supporting DotNET 4.0, which I'm using for this project.
Also, a lot of assemblies not part of DotNET that I use are heavily tied to Windows, such as file recovery.
So porting this project to either Linux or Mac would be quite a feat.
Perhaps Linux could be an option in the future, I might look into it later if there's a good alternative to run it there.

A good alternative might be to run it in a VM. It doesn't require fast I/O access, so as long as you use a VM with 2 or 4 GB of RAM (it needs quite a bit) and assign all the cores, the performance should be pretty much the same, except for a minor loss due to the overhead added by the VM.
If you wanted to use GPU it would not be possible. I still don't support that, it's quite complicated to run on btcrecover and interfacing it will require much work.

My all wallets hacked , after using this software for scanning! I'm coming for you ...
