Bitcoin peers.dat Reader

You can use this library to dump your peers.dat file from your Bitcoin client. This file keeps track of all your peers and what buckets they are currently in.

I was inspired by a blogpost, whose author wrote a similar library in Go.

I rewrote it in Python and also extracted parts of peers.dat that the Go-version was skipping, mainly bucket data.

Usage:

git clone https://github.com/asood123/bitpeers.git
pip install -r requirements.txt
python bitpeers.py --file=sample_peers.dat --output=json
