Could you build this?
Partial Building a CLI to read and query databases is easy, but decrypting local WeChat databases requires reverse-engineering WeChat's memory-derived SQLCipher keys and proprietary file formats.
What it would actually take: Requires reverse-engineering desktop WeChat client memory or local key storage to extract the PBKDF2 salt/keys used for SQLCipher database encryption. The tool needs SQLite/SQLCipher libraries, memory scanning or process hooking capabilities, and parsers for WeChat's internal Silk/Protobuf message payloads.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
