Recover Cached Wallet Seed Image -- 2
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
I recently generated a 24-word recovery phrase for a crypto wallet while using Brave on my MacBook (macOS Ventura). I am now trying to retrieve that phrase—or at least the image that Brave displayed—by digging through the local browser cache.
The computer is in my possession, and it has been turned off and on since the session (approx June 2025). I also have a Time Machine backup from around that time too.
What I need from you is straightforward: locate and extract any image files Brave may have stored of that page during the session. A recovered PNG, JPG, or WebP of the phrase is ideal, but if you uncover the text itself in a different format, that’s a welcome bonus.
You can follow the exact steps I did to create a phrase yourself as a real life test case and use your computer skills to determine if, and how the information is stored (if at all)
Deliverables (all files can be zipped together):
• That you successfully obtained the image displaying the 24 word phrase
• In the absence of the actual image, that you describe all of the unsuccessful options tried
Please be comfortable working with Brave/Chromium cache structures on macOS and have a forensic approach that preserves the original metadata where possible.
The wallet itself doesn't have hardly any $ in it, sorry if that's your focus, I just want to be able to use it again.
If you'd like to have a play around before bidding, the website is https://firstledger.net...you can connect and add a wallet (which is what I did). I didn't save a file (encrypted or otherwise).
Happy to answer any questions before or after you take on the project.
