1 min read
Summary
Zoom Team Chat is a popular collaboration platform, but its encrypted databases and analysis are rarely covered in digital forensic investigations.
In this article, the author analyses the Zoom Team Chat artifacts discovered during a CTF challenge, decrypting the associated databases to reveal chat messages and shared files.
The process requires obtaining both local encryption keys and a server-side key called kwk, which is not stored locally.
The author explains how to derive the required keys to decrypt the Zoom Team Chat database and obtain the chat messages.
The article also includes a full walkthrough of the CTF challenge, providing insights into the overall analysis of the encrypted disk image, the discovery of the ransomware, and the tracing of user activity through Chrome and Discord.
