okay coooool. the key is stored in plaintext at ~/.config/Signal/config.json. veeerry secure...

it took me 11 minutes of reading source code to figure that out ​:neobot_woozy:​

the very convenient messages table unfortunately does not contain any information on who sent the message... only the conversation id and the id of the key used to encrypt it. which i have no idea how to associate to an actual username ​:neobot_flop:​

and for DMs, it doesn't even include the name of the conversation... i guess that was designed to use contacts or something idk...
