How do bitcoin client determines duting rescan
which bitcoin addresses belongs to his wallet, and which are not?

Does he uses the list of adresses in the wallet itself,
or does he extracts addresses from the blockchain ?

Which lines of code should one see ?

I'm sure it must consult the wallet, and I remember there being an IsMine() in the code

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable.  I never believe them.  If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins.  I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion.  Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice.  Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

For each txout script encountered in the stored block chain, a test is done to verify whether our wallet is able to provide a matching txin script, or uses such a script as input. If so, it is added to the wallet.

I do Bitcoin stuff.
