Dump WeChat Messages from Android
WeChat(微信), as the most popular mobile IM app in China, failed to allow users to export well-formatted chat history. This tool can parse and dump WeChat chat history on a rooted android phone.
How to use:
Install Dependencies:

- Get /data/data/com.tencent.mm/MicroMsg/long-long-name/EnMicroMsg.db from root filesystem, possible ways are:
./android-interact.sh db- Use your rooted file system manager app
- Get WeChat user resource directory from your phone:
./android-interact.sh res# you might need to change the resource location in this script if the default doesn't work
- Get WeChat uin, possible ways are:
./android-interact.sh uin- Login to web wechat, get wxuin=1234567 from
document.cookie
- Get your phone IMEI number, possible ways are:

Run:
- Decrypt database, will produce decrypted_db.db (for now, Linux only):
./decrypt_db.sh <path to EnMicroMsg.db> <imei> <uin>
- Parse and dump text messages of every contact:
./dump_msg.py decrypted_db.db output_dir
- Dump messages of one contact to rich-content html, containing voice messages, emojis, and images:
