Runtime Error when trying to decrypt .crypt12 database

[ziyadss]

After I load the database and key files and press OK, I get runtime error, of which a screenshot is attached

I tried using another laptop and the same error showed, so it could be related to my own files? I'm not sure & I don't have other files to try.

Uh! Could you provide me sample files to andreas.mausch@gmail.com?

[ziyadss]

I've used another application to decrypt the file, and the now decrypted .db file actually works with WhatsApp Viewer, so I guess the files weren't corrupted. If the files would still be of use to you, let me know, I'm okay with giving you them if it'd help you for anything.

[andreas-mausch]

Yes please, my applications should never crash. :)

When I try with a small database, the error does not appear. With a 200MB database, I get the same error

Hi Andreas, same issue with ~240MB Database..

Hi Buddy, You have done a great job, I wanted to know if this application has any limitations related to the size of file. It is giving me run time error while decrypting file size of 133 mb. Thanks

Hi @harshadmehta001, are you willing to share the database? I would take a look at it immediately then. Currently decryption/uncompressing is done completely in memory, which is probably a bad idea regarding the growing file sizes.

@andreas-mausch I had the same problem. With me it happens when i go "file > decrypt.crypt12 > input the 2 files", then i recieved this error. I found a workround doing via command line and worked fine with the same 2 files. I gonna try to make a video later if necessary.

Hello @andreas-mausch :)

I got the same Runtime error above with a 400mb Database. I don't find another way to decrypt it. Can you help me? I can send you the files, if you need them

Thanks in advance

EDIT: its a crypt12 database with key

[andreas-mausch]

@Khiago Yes, please send the files via wetransfer or dropsend to andreas.mausch@gmail.com

Thanks!

Hello @andreas-mausch . Sorry to take long to anwser. I tried to open my files with "my SQL" and got the same error, so i concluded that my files are corrupted. I used SQLite to dump to another .db and with the health archive, your software worked great and i was able to read my almost 1gb decrypted database :)

Thanks

I can confirm that runtime error happen when I try to decrypt db.crypt12 larger than 90MB. I try my october 2017 backup with 85MB and 86MB success decrypted. But when I try my December 2017 backup with 96MB file size it start to fail with runtime error message. Of course my newest 144MB database can't decrypted.

Hi, runtime error in 150 and 200mb any help? Thank you.

[andreas-mausch]

Thanks to whoever gave me the 400mb crypt12 file. I was able to reproduce the bug finally.

I'm gonna enjoy the rest of the sun for today and come back to this in the evening.

[andreas-mausch]

Fixed in v1.13

[andreas-mausch]

Sorry for the short delay of three years for such a major bug. 🤦

Thank you to everyone who sent me test data.

Hope this is now fixed for all possible database files.
