It's also encrypted with an XOR one-time pad on linux using /dev/urandom:

If someone cracks it, all I ask is you tell me how you did so.

If I'm going to turn random data into a wallet, I'd rather turn it into the mybitcoin scammer's wallet. Then I'd have sooooo many coins. Smiley

(If you don't get how that makes logical sense go read up on OTPs...)

If that file you posted is XOR'd with data from /dev/urandom, I think your /dev/urandom is broken.

There is a weakness in it, i'm not going to reveal it - want to see if anyone in this community spots it.

A professional cryptographer would spot it in seconds.

I guess the only thing i can think of is that urandom is not as good as random.
As in it might just use a seed number. Also he appears to have limited his characters to printable stuff?

I see it as well.  Maybe I'll give it a go tonight if nobody else gets around to it.

It's base64 encoded silly.

Clue:
wallet.dat has structure and urandom is not truely random

Nevermind...   found 0.10 BTC.  Your urandom is certainly broken.  It wasn't XOR'd at all...

yea.. i was hoping to correct my post before someone quoted me..
and b64decode seems to have trouble with it on fbsd. no begin line. i will google.
ah.. -r fixed that issue.. but it seems i am too late.

But I am very curious what the solution was.
