Guys, you have a very nice tool here. Would you be interested in something that could help find "lost" keys (carved ones)?
Take a look if you find this usefull: https://github.com/leosol/whatsapp-key-carver
I could work on a PR for this...

It's interesting, have you ever taken a key that could be used to decrypt a database?

I've being using this for some time... It is most usefull you can't retrieve the key (lost phone number, for example). For this to work, it's necessary to have a full dump of emmc and it must be unencrypted. It's of no use in devices with File Based Encryption, unfortunately.

I understand that if you have an image with ufed you can navigate the directory tree and get the key of the whatsapp path. Another problem is that by default the backups are mostly encrypted. but I see the project interesting to incorporate within the suite
