  • WhatsApp-Key-Database-Extractor

    The most advanced and complete solution for extracting WhatsApp key/DB from package directory (/data/data/com.whatsapp) without root access.

    • There is a way to get your key from a non-rooted device that should still work: https://github.com/YuvrajRaghuvanshiS/WhatsApp-Key-Database-Extractor

  • wa-crypt-tools

    Manage WhatsApp .crypt12, .crypt14 and .crypt15 files.

    • With either of the keys from above (if using the second option make sure you pick the key that looks as the screen shot from the link, a 64-digit key, not some password you set) you can use https://github.com/ElDavoo/WhatsApp-Crypt14-Crypt15-Decrypter to decrypt.

  • whapa

    WhatsApp Parser Toolset v1.59

    • The result is a sqlite database that can be dumped or browsed with the regular (database) tools; there are 2 projects I know of that are actually reading the data and presenting it nicely but both are broken just now as Whatsapp changed the name of some tables (the changes are only cosmetic, the data is still there): https://github.com/B16f00t/whapa and https://github.com/andreas-mausch/whatsapp-viewer .

  • whatsapp-viewer

    Small tool to display chats from the Android msgstore.db database (crypt12)
