wa-crypt-tools is an open-source toolkit for handling encrypted WhatsApp backups (.crypt12/.crypt14/.crypt15) when the legitimate key is available.

The project supports protobuf-based formats, integrates with forensic workflows, and is frequently cited in research on E2EE behavior, message retention, and backup security. It reinforces that encryption remains intact - access hinges on key control, not exploitation.

How do you see tools like this shaping future mobile forensic standards?
