Telara.db
telara.db
telara.db is an encrypted SQLite3 database stored within the RIFT Assets and consists of 3 tables, only 2 are used by program.
It can be decrypted using sqlite3-dbx and the appropriate encryption key.
Alternately, the file can be decrypted without using sqlite3 because the DB is encrypted using a simple 128-AES block cipher. See SQLite Encryption Extension Documentation for more information.
The only caveat is that bytes 16-23 on the first page are NOT encrypted. See: Database File Format for the exact purpose of these bytes. The only one you really need is the first 2 bytes at offset 16 which contain the pagesize, which is the amount of bytes you have to feed into the decryption routine.
Dataset Info
dataset
Contains 6 columns. The most useful are "datasetID", "datasetKey" and "value". The ID and Key together point to a unique entry. Most of the entries are COMPRESSED and have to be decompressed to be read.
Each entry starts with a LEB128 to indicate decompressed size, followed by compressed DAT_Format data.
dataset_compression
This table contains 2 columns, "datasetId" and "frequencies" and contains the 1024 byte Huffman table frequencies to build a Huffman tree to decompress the dataset entries.
The exact algorithm to build the tree is unknown at this time. See here for an implementation in x86 assembly.
