List all ethereum accounts using geth

Question

Etherscan displays all accounts in ethereum being used in the following section https://etherscan.io/accounts

Question: How can I get a list of all active ethereum accounts using geth?

Possible answer: Use Parity. It enables this feature by the RPC call to parity_listaccounts.

Why Not an answer: The account information is available at https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/accounts and rinkeby runs only geth. So geth must be able to provide this information.

Update

A similar question: There exists a similar question How to list ALL Ethereum addresses with a positive balance, but that requires traversing each block which is very time costly process.

are you running a fully sinchronized Ethereum node ? If so, it is possible. with a simple code — Nulik, Apr 14 '18 at 21:16
@Ayushya, I am not talking about reprocessing the whole blockchain from genesis block, you can get the last state with a single call and print it to file — Nulik, Apr 15 '18 at 00:11
@Nulik I think thats exactly what I want to do, can you post an answer. — Ayushya, Apr 15 '18 at 00:15
@Ayushya, if you don't have a full node in sync with the network it won't help — Nulik, Apr 15 '18 at 00:59
@Nulik if having a full node is a requirement, you can mention that in the answer — Ayushya, Apr 15 '18 at 04:50
@Nulik I am looking for the solution, not worried about what it takes to get there. — Ayushya, Apr 17 '18 at 06:10
@Nulik am doing this on my private network so I am in full control of it. — Ayushya, Apr 18 '18 at 01:42
well, then, when my node syncs fully I will post my answer with the data and code. — Nulik, Apr 18 '18 at 13:37
@Nulik can we not confirm it with some private test network? — Ayushya, Apr 18 '18 at 15:05

This lists only those accounts whose keystore files are present with us. It does not list all accounts – Ayushya Apr 14 '18 at 16:53
