FAQ
Is Bitcoin Wallet.dat Forensic Analyzer encryption?
No. It is primarily an analysis/encoding utility. If you need confidentiality, use a real encryption scheme and manage keys properly.
What should I do if the input fails to decode/parse?
Start by checking for missing padding, wrong alphabet/variant, or extra whitespace. If the data looks multi-layered, try decoding step-by-step (e.g., URL decode → Base64 decode).
Is it safe to paste sensitive data here?
For best security, avoid pasting real secrets (private keys, live tokens, seed phrases). Use test data or work offline, especially for anything that could grant access or move funds.
