Zalo SQLite Chat Extraction

Job ID: 40200402

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I need a forensic specialist ideally based in Ho Chi Minh City to pull every scrap of data still living inside Zalo’s local SQLite stores on a Windows laptop. The focus is narrow and clear: recover all text messages plus any contact information linked to those chats; photos, videos, and other media can be ignored for now.

You’re free to work with Magnet AXIOM, Cellebrite, Autopsy, X-Ways, or your own Python / sqlite3 scripts—whatever lets you prove the chain of custody and export clean, searchable tables.

Deliverables
• CSV or XLSX of every recovered message with timestamp, sender/receiver IDs, and thread reference
• CSV or XLSX of the full contact list (UID, display name, phone/email where available)
• A brief but reproducible methodology report detailing each tool, version, acquisition step, and hash so the results stand up in court

I can supply either the physical laptop or a forensic image (E01 or raw) once we agree on the process. Let me know how you would tackle encrypted cache files if they appear and your estimated turnaround time.
