There are many crypto currencies now, BTC, LTC, MTC, Potcoin and so on. Each of these have their own wallet.dat files used by the client software.
My question is: Do all these crypto currencies make use of the same format of wallet.dat file?
pywallet.py can be used to dump the keys from a BTC wallet.dat file.
Can pywallet.py also be used to dump the information from a wallet of an alternate crypto currency like LTC/MTC and so on?
The wallet.dat is a Berkeley DB file. You can parse it using following command (You need to install Berkeley DB on your unix environement first)
db_dump wallet.dat
I checked for Bitcoin and Litecoin and in both case the wallet.dat was using the same version of Berkeley DB.
VERSION=3
format=bytevalue
database=main
type=btree
db_pagesize=4096
HEADER=END
I haven't try pywallet.py but I guess it should work for all these Bitcoin derived altcoins.
