Is there a way decrypt chat logs? by olivex on 02-21-2013 at 08:14 AM

We all know WLM is facing out... Sadly but true. I don't like Spype, but...
Anyway, my question:
Messenger Plus for WLM supports chat log encryption, but Messenger Plus for Skype doesn't. Now that WLM is about to be removed from my PC, along with Messenger Plus, I want to archive all those chat logs. But the chat logs are encryted and cannot open without Messenger Plus. So I want to decrypt them before archiving. I can't decrypt them one by one because there are hundreds of them. I want to have a batch method to decrypt all of them.


I just noticed Messenger Plus can also decrypt encrypted chat logs but it's no use for me, as I want to decrypt all of them and then archive them.

Have you read CookieRevised's reply to About uncrypting logs (i've got password!)? Might be what you're looking for (assuming it still works and all, have never used it myself and it seems pretty old).

hmm... underestimating my L33t DOS skillz from 6 years ago hu :o
j/k :p

It should still work though.
However, it was never really (stress)tested under Win 64bit, or with Windows 7 or Windows 8, but it should still work with all of those.... in theory....
