I’ve got two wallets that share the same "ckey" and the first 32 characters of the "mkey" are identical too. Is there an easy way to extract the "key material" so I can access my ckey or mkey for the private key? Help me out... I’m trying to use this./crackBTCwallet from albertoBSD to figure it out. When I dumped my wallets with pywallet, I got this info. Thanks!

You talking about the tool from GitHub? That one? Might wanna wait for @albert0bsd to drop some knowledge on this. If I’m getting the program right, there’s a section on "Getting the PrivKey in WIF format" that might help. But I can’t confirm my compiled version doesn’t show the commands. Weird, right?

Yeah, I pulled that from albertoBSD’s page. But I’m really looking for a shortcut to extract the "key material" for "aesdecrypt." It’s odd, having two wallets with the same "ckey" and matching mkeys. Gotta be a faster way to get this material... Any ideas?

So, these wallets likely have the same encrypted private key. That first set of 32 characters? They’re tied to the AES Key, with part of it encrypted. If the private key is the same but the rest is different, it could just mean these are copies of the same wallet encrypted on different devices or with different passwords. Corruption might have messed with the rest of the data too. You think you can use those matching parts to decrypt the mkey? Not sure that’s gonna work without the wallet passphrase.
