Extract Telegram messages from db_sqlite PostBox – made for Telegram for macOS, but should work with Telegram for iOS

extract_telegram_macos.ipynb

I assume this needs to be ran on the host machine? I've tried exporting the account postbox directory to another machine and running the jup notebook but doesn't seem to be working. Does the notebook file need to be in the same directory with the db_sqlite? Once I run the jup notebook server and open this ipynb I just get a 0 byte DB and an error saying no such table T7

Just looking for initial setup guidance.

How to get the Sqlite DB file from an Android phone or Windows desktop computer? I searched a lot, but can't find them.

I'm stuck in the fist step of the problem 🤷

@pauloneves this is for iOS/macOS apps only, other apps are completely different

Hey, thanks so much for this. I'm trying to extract the key to decrypt db - I don't have a local passcode, only the cloud one, and I'm getting raise Exception(f'hash mismatch: {dbHash} != {calcHash}'). Any ideas on what else I could try?

The same issue for me. No password, but still hash mismatch.

@ianwongkj @aromanyuk works fine for me on 11.13.273693 Stable. Maybe you're trying to pass cloud password instead of default no-matter-key?
