Figure 8-12: Hierarchical paths in the recovered text.

These are the Hierarchical Deterministic paths that make up an HD wallet. If you keep scrolling through the list, you will eventually find a Bitcoin address in plain text that looks similar to what's shown in Figure 8-13.

Figure 8-13: Finding an address with its prefix.

This address has an interesting value prefixing it: name"1. This value, which includes the 1 from the start of a Bitcoin address, has always existed in a wallet.dat file (in my experience). So, now you have a “magic value” that should locate a wallet.dat file, no matter what it is called. Simply use your digital forensics tool to search for name"1, and you should find the correct file (see Figure 8-14).
