crypt7 databases

Open danielsreichenbach opened this issue 11 years ago • 2 comments

Any chance that we will see crypt7 support?

It seems the latest WhatsApp update on the play store comes with a forced conversion of the WhatsApp database to crypt7 format.

Also here, tried to use and no success, it return an empty list of messages.

Crypt7 databases can be decrypted but key and IV are stored in /data/data/com.whatsapp/files/key and change periodically. So you need root access to read that file but if you have root access it's simplier to read unencrypted database directly from /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db. See my fork https://github.com/Tostis/whassup.
