Suggestion: Encrypt Whatsapp database #92

Open edwa opened 4 years ago

edwa commented 4 years ago

Add feature for encrypt msgstore.db or messages.decrypted.db to msgstore.db.crypt12.

sugestion

All My chat history in /sdcard/Whatsapp/Databases/ is corupted but I can read msgstore.db (in /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/) with Whatsapp-Viewer. If Whatsapp-Viewer can encrypt msgstore.db to msgstore.db.crypt12 we can copy that file to /sdcard/Whatsapp/Databases/. And when reinstall Whatsapp maybe WA can restore that file.

Thankyou

It is quite difficult to combine backups and new state and have WA accept it. I'd welcome any attempt at this.

To implement this, we need to find how the header and footer are constructed. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55948189/how-to-generate-the-header-and-footer-for-whatsapps-crypt12-format
