Metadata decryption function added
hello @ElDavoo,
can you confirm if there is a way to decrypt .mcrypt1 files?
I've overwritten my drive backup by mistake but I have all my photos/videos .mcrypt1 files locally in the phone, so I would like to restore them.
Regards,
can you confirm if there is a way to decrypt .mcrypt1 files?
yep
Can you please tell me how to do it?
work in progress, i will probably do it during the vacations
Did you do it? I forgot my E2E encryption 64-digit code but i have downloaded the backup from google drive on my laptop and want to decrypt it. Please help, I cant lose all my messages.
I'm also still waiting with my encrypted .mcrypt1 photos and videos in my laptop. LOL

Sorry, but .mcrypt1 by themselves are not decryptable. Additional metadata from Google drive is needed.
The latest version on master branch of whapa downloads this metadata in the form of .mcrypt1-metadata files.

Im not sure if I have that metadata files in my local drive, I have to check... Anyway, is this function going to be implemented? If I manage to get that metadata files can you tell me how to decrypt it? Thanks
This will probably be complicated and result in a writing of a google drive downloader, as metadata needs to be decrypted and it will probably a lot of stuff and logic to write.
.mcrypt1 files are encrypted media files uploaded in the cloud (google drive) while using E2E encrypted backups.
I can't allocate time to this task, so for a few months there will be no progress. I'll be happy to accept external contributions. There should be no forward secrecy, so you might be able to start downloading encrypted media using existing downloaders and decrypt them when the tool will be ready.
