as far as i understand, only wallet.db file was necessary, and chantools gave me the xprv... string from the wallet.db after running the command.

Does this mean that if someone steals our wallet.db file they can steal the funds?

yep, chantools is a great tool and if you have the wallet.db it is very useful. You learned a very important lesson. Good job!

the database folder already contain the keys, that's why it worked. He replaced default folder with old one.

@zapsammy is saying that you only need the db. I find that strange too!

i also had the password, so that wud have to be brute-forced, unless it's an empty string password (i.e. no password).
