Description

I am trying to decrypt a vault however, when I follow the instructions the interface gives me the error "Can not read vault from file" (I carefully passed the right file 000005.ldb).

I also tried the manual method however, when I open the 000005.ldb file with VS Code I am getting some gibberish. There must be an encoding issue.

Anyone help ?
Good day

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Vault Decryptor instructions with the reported 000005.ldb file, then compare that behavior with the manual method described in the issue. Check how the interface reads vault files and how binary or encoded contents are handled; done means a valid vault file no longer produces “Can not read vault from file” and the supported input format is clear.
