WhatCrypt - WhatsApp Crypt Tool

WhatCrypt is a decryption and encryption tool for backed up WhatsApp databases.

Usage Examples:

Decrypt legacy .crypt and .crypt5-12 files to .db files.
Encrypt .db files to legacy .crypt files.

Original encrypted files will not be moved or deleted. If you get any Decryption Failed messages
then it means that either the encrypted database is corrupt or you have supplied the incorrect
account name or key file. Root access will be required to obtain your crypt key (crypt 6>12) or Android 4.0+.

WhatCrypt - WhatsApp Crypt Tool

WhatCrypt is a decryption and recryption tool for backed up WhatsApp databases.

Usage Examples:

Decrypt .crypt and .crypt5 database files and turn them into SQLite files.

Decrypt or Recrypt.crypt5 database files that have not been linked to any account.

Recrypt .crypt5 database files so they can be used on another device / account.

Recrypt .crypt5 database files to .crypt so they can be used on older WhatsApp versions.

Recrypt .crypt database files to .crypt5 so they can be used on newer WhatsApp versions.

All decrypted and recrypted files will be saved in the same directory as the original encrypted
file. Decrypted files will end in .db. Recrypted files will end in re.crypt or re.crypt5. The
original encrypted files will not be moved or deleted. If you get any Decryption Failed messages
then it means that either the encrypted database is corrupt or you have supplied the incorrect
account name.

It works absolutely fine!
->"WhatCrypt Settings" -> locate the .crypt5 file -> type in your gmail account-> Save settings-> Back to Main Menu->Recrypt Whatsapp Database->Put in your gmail address again-> remove the hook from crypt5-> Recrypt Whatsapp Database-> WAIT a minute.

This will create a normal crypt file, which can be used in whatsapp xtract just like before!

Decrypt doesn't work for me either but RECRYPT from .crypt5 to .crypt definitly works still fine!
Just tried with newest Whatsapp availabe and newest Backup file.
Recrypting will create "msgstore.db.re.crypt". Of course this has to renamed to "msgstore.db.crypt" before you can use "Whatsap Xtract".

Whatsapp introduced .crypt6 files in the latest version from their website and I am not able to convert them to.crypt using the tool. Any insight into crypt6?

The app has been updated to support crypt6. Root access will be required to obtain your crypt6 key.

Crossposting links in multiple threads puts you in danger of becoming a spam whore. I advise you not to do it. If you would like to promote an app then I would advise you to link to it in your signature instead of cluttering up the forums. If the app that you are promoting works for you then I fail to see any constructive purpose of your post. In anycase, sms backup+ is open source so why not just use a fork that contains support for crypt 5? However, it must be noted that the switch to crypt6 is imminent and that crypt5 will soon be yesterdays news.

I like the danger of becoming a spam whore, let me worry about me.
The whatsapp i use has the crypt6 file, i just said that the pther app was working with the crypt5. Not promoting or any other b.s
I posted in 2 locations so more people would see it, seeing how this thread is not moving.

My appologies if you weren't spamming. Have you verified that you can open the db file in a sqlite browser? Also, I thought sms plus dealt with the old .crypt files so what you may need to do is use the Recrypt option to convert crypt6 to crypt and then rename the recrypted msgstore.db.re.crypt to msgstore.db.crypt so that it can be read by sms plus. Let me know how you get on.

The key file is located in "/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/key" You can obtain it with root or possibly with a usb backup solution such as Helium. It should be noted that the beta builds of WhatsApp use a rolling encryption mechanism which means that the cipher key changes periodically. As far as I can tell WhatsApp doesn't even read the cipher key from the key file, but instead calls a remote hashing algorithm on their server which is based on other parameters stored in this file. It's likely that in the next stable release the cipher key may not even be present on the device. In which case the only way to obtain the current cipher will be to patch the WhatsApp apk. I have already developed a patch tool that is called WhatPatch that can achieve this, though I'll be watching this space with everyone else before I decide if it's worth releasing or not.

Says Crypt 6 key not found even though it says the Key copied successfully in the settings page; in reality the crypt6.key is not copied to the directory.

Was the app granted root? Failing that if you have root then just copy "/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/key" to "sdcard/WhatsApp/crypt6.key" manually. The copy feature works on several of my own devices, but has not yet been exstensively tested. Please also ensure that the path to the key is correct in settings.

EDIT: The app has been updated. Specifically concerning the root key copying mechanism. It is busybox aware and the event handling of any errors is more precise. I.E. If the user has a version of WhatsApp installed that does not yet support crypt6 it will respond with "Cannot copy a non-existent key!".
