Skypelog

A simple tool to read binary DBB databases and output its text equivalent.

This could be used to read the Skype chatlogs (stored unencrypted as chatmsg256.dbb under ~/.Skype/<username>/) on some Skype versions. It may not work on the newest Windows-versions but on my Linux with Skype 2.2, those DBB files show up.

Try this after building:

$ ./skypelog chatmsg*.dbb | sort | less

and have fun!

I took the one skypelog.c from here and made it into a GBT project. If you're new to the GNU build tools like me, here's how you get this built:

$ aclocal
$ autoconf
$ automake -a
$ ./configure 
$ make
$ sudo make install

Best of luck!
