Does Armory's LMDB file contains the private key too? How can I decrypt it and read the LMDB file?

[avatar-lavventura]

Armory creates Wallet file and lmdb file when a new wallet is created. I did a super deep disk clean to see if I could recover the wallet file but I was unable to find it. Only file I was able to find that is armory_*****_wallet.lmdb mainly around 102KiB. I am not sure does it contains anything related to the Wallet file but I am just trying to read what's in it.

Is the following approach possible ?

I've no idea but it seems to me there's a chance the private keys are in the Lightning Memory-Mapped DataBase (LMDB) file. Probably encrypted using the wallet password.

I have created a wallet from scratch and share my results with it, example lmdb file that is created by the Armory.

I have followed guide-1, guide-2, and guide-3 to be able to read the file.

my_script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import lmdb
import caffe

lmdb_file = "armory_2tG9psLQX_wallet.lmdb" 
lmdb_env = lmdb.open(lmdb_file, subdir=False)
lmdb_txn = lmdb_env.begin()
lmdb_cursor = lmdb_txn.cursor()
datum = caffe.proto.caffe_pb2.Datum()

for key, value in lmdb_cursor:
    print(key)
    print(value)

print("----------------")
for key, value in lmdb_cursor:
    print(key.decode('utf-8'))
    print(value.decode('utf-8'))`

This only prints out:

b'99AxiN7y'
b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x04\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00k\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\n\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
b'WalletHeader'
b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x06\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'

99AxiN7y
k

WalletHeader

Since the file size is much larger I am not sure why does it able to print only a single character as a value. Is there any other way to read the lmdb file in depth or its size does not matter? Seems like 99AxiN7y is the wallet-id of the original wallet file.

I am sure the file is not corrupted where I have tried with a new armory_***wallet.lmdb file that is created by the Armory and similiar result is generated.

=> The real question is if the LMDB file contains the private keys too and can we recover the wallet from it?
