Successfully recovered private keys from corrupted wallet

[blackempress]

I was able to recover my private keys by reverse engineering the wallet and using a custom scalpel config to pull every instance off my hard drives. I then wrote a script to chop out the private keys put them in an array, convert the hex versions to each kind of of public key (compressed and not compressed) and found it within seconds.

I will write a more in depth guide and provide the tools I made open source to help anyone else who runs into the issues I did.
