Review: "IndexOfWalletDat Patched"

Verdict: A highly efficient "nuclear option" for data recovery, but strictly for advanced users who understand the security risks.

• Magic Bytes: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 (or 0x62 0x31 0x05 0x00 depending on version)
• BDB page markers.

What "patched" usually means

• The index file was altered to repair corruption or data-format mismatches.
• A developer applied a compatibility or security fix so the wallet can read or rebuild the index.
• A third-party tool reconstructed wallet metadata (addresses, transaction pointers) into a new index file.
