You can spot the telltale security-theater threat-model of someone who one moment laughs (“so much for security hey”) that they ought to be locked out of their own messages — yet the next complains that they are locked out of their own messages.
I wonder which users, blogs & news media will again bemoan Signal when someone releases a tool to circumvent this pointless speed bump?
Exporting Signal chat history
Hi Fellas, I really need to export a Signal conversation, as part of a lawsuit, to prove my innocence and my good faith. This is serious. I need to go as far as 5 years back but screenshots are very cumbersome to efficiently process.
I first tried auto scroll but copy pasting loses track of who’s saying what, it gets all mixed up. So I explored more tech-savvy ways to do it, so I came accross local db decryption using plain text key (so much for security heh). This flaw was exploited by all Github solutions/tools out there.
Lucky me, when I launched Signal today to explore the sql database, the app got updated and the key to access it got encrypted and now I’m… basically screwed.
The previously known method does not work anymore … I know the desktop app is able to locally decrypt the encrypted key through safeStorage and then access the SQL database. But at this point I am clueless. I spent a whole night on this already, I’m fed up for now. So, Any help/workaround would be really appreciated.
