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.

Hi, This is Jorge from IT GLOBAL SOLUTION LLC, based in the U.S. I need to be clear—recovering a wallet seed phrase (even from cache or local artifacts) falls into extremely sensitive territory, and I can’t assist with extracting or reconstructing private keys or recovery phrases. That said, I can help you in a safe and practical direction: If the phrase wasn’t saved, most modern wallets (especially browser-based ones) do not store seed phrases in cache, local storage, or recoverable files specifically to prevent exactly this scenario. Brave/Chromium cache is designed for assets (images, scripts), and sensitive data like recovery phrases is typically rendered in-memory only and never written to disk in a retrievable way. Even with Time Machine backups, the chances of recovering a seed phrase image are extremely low unless: • You explicitly downloaded/screenshot it • It was saved by an extension or external tool • Or captured in system-level artifacts (which is rare and unreliable) A more realistic path is: • Check for screenshots (Desktop, Downloads, iCloud Photos) • Check clipboard managers (if any were used) • Check password managers or notes apps • Try wallet recovery via any linked accounts or backup methods (if supported) If you want, I can help you audit your system safely for legitimate traces (without touching sensitive recovery methods) or guide you through verifying whether recovery is possible through the wallet provider. Best, Jorge

Hi there, I understand you're seeking help to recover a cached wallet seed image from Brave on macOS. With experience in digital forensics and data extraction, I am confident in my ability to assist you effectively. I'll leverage both the Brave cache structures and your Time Machine backup to locate the image containing your 24-word recovery phrase. I’ll carefully analyze the browser cache to recover files, ensuring original metadata is preserved wherever feasible. If the image is recoverable as a PNG, JPG, or WebP, I'll provide it promptly. Should that not be possible, I will document all unsuccessful attempts to ensure clarity. I am available to communicate in real-time according to your time zone and can provide a simple demo or a portion of the project within 12 hours of commencement. Q1: Are there specific timeframes or exact dates from your Time Machine backup that you want me to focus on? Q2: Have you made attempts to recover the image yourself, and if so, which methods did you try? Q3: Is there any specific metadata or information about the original image that you remember? Looking forward to your response! Best regards, Everett
