Extract and convert property list files from SQLite database files and from other property list files.
Tested on Kali Linux v2023.4 (64-bit).
Made for educational purposes. I hope it will help!
On Kali Linux, run:
apt-get -y install plistutil
Windows OS is not supported.
On macOS, run:
brew install libplist
pip3 install --upgrade property-lister
git clone https://github.com/ivan-sincek/property-lister && cd property-lister
python3 -m pip install --upgrade build
python3 -m build
python3 -m pip install dist/property_lister-2.8-py3-none-any.whl
Extract and convert property list files inside Cache.db unencrypted SQLite database file:
scp [email protected]:/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/YYY...YYY/Library/Caches/com.someapp.dev/Cache.db ./
property-lister -db Cache.db -o results_db
Extract and convert property list files inside an IPA:
unzip someapp.ipa
property-lister -db Payload -o results_db
property-lister -pl Payload -o results_pl
Repeat the same for the app specific directories.
Check my other project on how to search for files and on how to extract sensitive data from the files.
