Encryption and users - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone tried installing ecryptfs and encrypting the home folder of the user phablet?
Can I add a new user and use it instead of phablet?

[Q] How to install custom trusted certificate?

I serve a few webpages from my home. I use an OpenSSL certificate. On my previous phone I was able to install the cert onto my phone so that I don't get the "untrusted connection" in my browser.
For some reason on the G3 my .cert file shows up grayed out when I select it. Does G3 support only certain formats? I currently do have a key guard enabled.
edit: I guess I need to create a *.crt certificate in x509 format, then it lets me pick it, but it does not appear in my user certificates folder after I add it...

I always put my certificates into system/etc/security/carets folder with r-w-r-r premisson and it works without a keyguard.....or change the file extension to .cer and it'll install but u'll need a pin/password

[Q] Windows Phone 8.1 WhatsApp backup/restore

I've seen some threads about accessing the WhatsApp messages backup database files on iPhone, Android and older Windows Phone versions (7.x). However, none of the methods seem to be compatible with the WhatsApp messages backup database file found on Windows Phone 8.1. I am looking for a way to either extract/decrypt or restore an older messages backup database. Tried so far:
- Place messages.db file on SD card and reinstall WhatsApp. WhatsApp does NOT find the backup on installation. It only restores the most recent chats (not the ones from the backup file)
- Tried available tools for iPhone/Android (Python scripts with crypto 5/7/8). Database format is incompatible
- Tried opening the database file directly in Microsoft Access, SQLite Browser. Unrecognized file format
- Tried the Zune/WP Device Manager approach. Seems to work only with Windows Phone 7.x, Windows Phone 8 is not seen by the tool
- Tried Windows Phone Power Tools to access Isolated Storage for the WhatsApp app, but access to an apps isolated storage is not possible in Windows Phone 8 anymore.
- Tried the WhatsApp Xtractor, but it contains the same iPhone/Android python scripts that don't work with the Windows Phone version
- Even tried asking WhatsApp support directly, but they have not given any response yet
Can any WhatsApp / encryption wizard please help me out. I am more than willing to reward/tip you for it if the solution works!
i have the same problem ,pls pls pls tell me about the solution thx
Given that you already enabled full FS access on your phone or have control over an app wich has the ID_CAP_OEMPUBLICDIRECTORY capability, you can extract the unencrypted sqlite database from C:\Data\SharedData\OEM\Public\WhatsApp.
The structure of the database is quite complex (I suppose it grew over the years), but not too hard to understand.
However, I have no experience in using this mechanism as a backup/restore solution.

Sorry for broken link, I'm a new member.
I realize this is a pity, I want the Microsoft support seriously and updating applications
If you do not want to unlock / flash your phone in order to enable the full FS unlock, you can try the hack as shown in the Blackhat slides posted above.
It works by replacing an apps' core files with your own, but keeping the capability restrictions of the original app. (Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...p-customwpsystem-patch-xaps-wpsystem-t2975419 for example)
So just target an app with ID_CAP_OEMPUBLICDIRECTORY, deploy your custom payload and use it to copy the WhatsApp files somewhere.
Given the full FS access, is there any way to access the Whatsapp key file like on Android. That's what you would need to access the backup files instead of the unencrypted current message database, which is easily opened as SQLite database?
Hello ... I'm new here ... just wondering if there is any answer to this question ... I know it's not a recent discussion, but I really need some help from you guys. I have a wp where whatsapp is installed, but it's asking for verification and I dont have no more the sim card related to that account ... I saw chats, but then I made a huge mistake (opened whatsapp while I was online) and now I cannot access to those anymore ... I have messages.db but I'm unable to retrieve the key to decrypt that ... there are tons of posts about similar issue on android or IOS, but I need the same for WP ... is it something someone can drive me through? Thanks a lot in advance
If your phone has the Full-FS-Unlock enabled you can get the unencrypted databases at C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Packages\5319275A.WhatsApp_cv1g1gvanyjgm\LocalState (or similar package name).
Or you can get unencrypted backups from C:\Data\SharedData\OEM\Public\WhatsApp
Or you can use a interop-unlocked File Manager App

The files in C:\Data\SharedData\OEM\Public\WhatsApp seem to be encrypted as well … Or can you just not open them with a standard SQLite viewer?

No, these files are indeed encrypted.
The winwazzapmigrator software did a good job migrating my database to a new android phone.

[Q] Decrypt whatsapp crypt8 without key

Hi there,
I have found very good guides on how to decrypt crypt8 files.
However, is there any way to decrypt crypt8 files without the key?
Could this AES key be of any use? Or is that not applicable to crypt8?
8D4B155CC9FF81E5CBF6FA7819366A3EC621A656416CD793
This seems to be a general available key, that might be able to be used to decrypt. However I don't know how to go from this key to a .key file.
Is there any way to obtain that key even after WhatsApp was reinstalled?
Many thanks

Custom ROM / User Session Athentication

I am researching how feasible it is to develop a custom user authentication system for Android. Not at the application level but at the operating system level where many users can login into a device with a user name and password and log out. The user profile should be pulled from a repository not already provisioned on the device. This would be similar to how users log onto a PC using Windows Active Directory. Has anyone seen this accomplished?
Thanks
