How $3 Million in Bitcoin Was Recovered from a Locked Hard Wallet

· 4 min read

Back in 2013, a crypto enthusiast named "Michael" purchased 43.6 BTC and secured it in a password-protected digital wallet. His 20-character password was generated randomly using a password manager. To add an extra layer of security, he used encryption software, believing his assets were safe. 🛡️ Little did he know, disaster struck when the container holding his password became corrupted during a bull run that turned his $5,000 investment into millions. 🐂📉 Michael found himself locked out of his fortune with no way in sight.

Fast forward to 2022, enter Sarah and the specialized recovery team at Bitsquery Web Retriever, renowned for their hacking prowess. Having previously cracked a $2 million recovery from a Trezor wallet, they took on Michael's case. Despite the password manager's closed-source nature posing a challenge, the team leveraged advanced tools. Using Cheat Engine to scan memory, they uncovered traces of the password and employed NSA-developed reverse engineering techniques to dissect the password manager’s code.

Their breakthrough came with x64 debug, manipulating time and program execution to refine their search. After weeks of meticulous effort, tweaking scripts, and continuous feedback loops with Michael, they cracked the code. Excluding special characters, they finally generated a viable password set, granting Michael access to his long-lost wealth. 🌟 Unbeknownst to him, the entire journey was documented on YouTube, showcasing Bitsquery Web Retriever’s groundbreaking approach.

The experience highlighted an essential lesson: nothing is truly set in stone. It's crucial not to rely solely on memory to remember passwords or seed phrases. Always ensure to document them both online and offline. Anything can be hacked, crashed, or stolen; however, there is always a solution or a vulnerability loop to be exploited. No situation is entirely hopeless. Anything can be tweaked depending on the circumstances. Never say never, whether it involves scams, drained accounts, or locked wallets.
