WalletKeyTool is a user-friendly GUI application designed specifically for managing Bitcoin wallet files. It supports multiple formats, including .dat, .key, .aes.json, .txt, and .wallet, allowing users to safely view, edit, and convert their wallet contents without risking data corruption.
WalletKeyTool’s main features:
- Import a wallet in one format and export it in another
- Transferring private keys between different wallets
- Add or remove keys as needed
- Supports encryption and password protection for security
How to use WalletKeyTool
Requirements: Java version 7.0 or higher is required to run the application.
Launching via a graphical user interface (GUI)
- In Windows, simply double-click on the .jar or .exe file (provided Java is installed).
- To open the wallet, select “Load wallet,” select the desired file, and enter the password if the wallet is encrypted. The program will then display a list of all public and private keys.
Working via the command line (CLI)
On any operating system with terminal support (including Windows), you can launch WalletKeyTool with the following command:
bash
java -jar wallet-key-tool.jar
This will open a graphical interface, and messages and errors will be output to the console. For more detailed logging, use:
bash
java -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.defaultLogLevel=TRACE -jar wallet-key-tool.jar
Important: The -D parameter must come before -jar, as it is passed directly to the Java virtual machine. Available logging levels: ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE.If you just want to display the wallet contents in the console without launching the GUI, specify the path to the file:
bash
java -jar wallet-key-tool.jar <путькфайлу>
If your wallet is encrypted, the program will ask for a password. To avoid interactive input, you can provide the password directly:
bash
java -jar wallet-key-tool.jar --password="your_password" <path_to_file>
Example of output when no password is entered:
Wallet is encrypted. Enter passphrase:
no passphrase entered, will skip decryption

You can download WalletKeyTool from the project’s official GitHub page:
WinPhlashWinPhlash.exe /ro=BIOSORIG.WPH
@rem Checking if the BIOS has already been changed
PythonPortablePython_1.1_py2.6.1 Apppython CheckFlash.py WinPhlashBIOSORIG.WPH
The script saves the original firmware to the BIOSORIG.WPH file and then checks its contents for traces of previous modifications (for example, by the presence of a certain text marker).
Working with BIOS modules
After loading the image into Phoenix BIOS Editor, you can:
View and edit DMI data (information about the manufacturer, model, serial number, etc.);
Edit the hardware “whitelist” (useful when building mining rigs or custom PC configurations)
; Edit specific modules, such as MOD_5100.ROM, which often contains information about installed components.
Important! Any errors while editing the BIOS may render the motherboard inoperable. Before flashing, always make a backup copy of the original firmware and carefully review all changes.
Conclusion
Phoenix BIOS Editor is a reliable tool for those who want to deeply customize their system at the firmware level. It’s especially popular among enthusiasts, miners, and hardware recovery specialists. However, working with the BIOS requires caution: even a small error can brick the motherboard.
