[Extract DBX files (Outlook Express emails) from old QQQ quarantines?]

Hey, this XOR  program did the trick!!

 

hxxp://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Other-Programming-Files/Xor.shtml

 

At last, the solution to opening these .QQQ files:

 

1. Open a .QQQ file in WinRAR and extract both files.

2. Look in the Manifest.ini for that particular file and see what the XOR_KEY says.

3. Run xor.exe in the command prompt and extract the encrypted file: xor.exe encrypted_file_here output.dbx xor_key_here

 

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

I've discovered that these .QQQ files are MSCF cabinet files.  If I open one in WinRAR, I see two files:

 

{3f55eda0-b5b6-4966-be7a-2aa629523779}  (or something similar)

Manifest.ini

 

Here is an example Manifest.ini file: hxxp://pastebin.com/s5hQcpMp

 

One value is "SHA1" and another is "XOR_KEY."  I wonder if I can use these values to decrypt these files.  What do you think?

Hey, thanks for the info!  I tried installing Windows Live OneCare (now discontinued), but I received an installation error: "Network problems are preventing Windows Live OneCare Installation from continuing at this time."  All my troubleshooting has not produced a solution.  So, do you know if I can use Microsoft Security Essentials (OneCare's successor) to restore the QQQ files?

I have some old DBX files from 2006.  These are Outlook Express email folder files.  The issue is that they are stored with a .QQQ file extension.  (Example: Inbox.dbx.{51cf2dcf-d42d-43be-bc1b-ba07dab55da7}.QQQ)  Please tell me if there is a way to extract the DBX files from the QQQ files.  Thanks!
