WHAPA

whapa.py is an Android whatsapp database parser which automates the process and presents the data handled by the SQLite database in a way that is comprehensible to the analyst. If you copy the "wa.db" database into the same directory as the script, the phone number will be displayed along with the name.

Please note that this project is an early stage. As such, you could find errors. Use it at your own risk!

Reports

To create reports the first thing we need to do is to configure the file"./cfg/settings.cfg". For example:

[report]
company = Foo S.L
record = 1337
unit = Research group
examiner = B16f00t
notes = Chat maintained between the murderer and the victim

If we want to put the logo of our company, we must replace the file './cfg/logo.png' by the one of our choice. In the file './cfg/settings.cfg', the name of the company or unit must be specified, as well as the assigned registration number, the unit or group we belong to, who the examiner is and we can also specify notes in the report.

To generate the report we must specify the option "English" whether we want the report in English, as well as "ES" whether we want the report in Spanish.

If you specify the "wa.db" database, the phone number will be displayed along with the name. For the report to contains the images, videos, documents... you must copy the "WhatsApp/Media" folder of your phone to the report directory, otherwise the program will generate thumbnails.

If we want to print the document or create the report in pdf, It recommends in the print option -> scale the view <= 60% or 70%, otherwise the report will be displayed too large.
