Decrypting an SQLCipher .db File on Mac


I have an encrypted SQLCipher .db file but i don't have the PRAGMA key. How can I decrypt the file and access it without a key for it? There are examples for windows here but none for Mac and honestly I'm not a command line expert so if anyone can share how this is done I would be greatful.

I'm running MacOS Sierra.

Thank you!

  • How can I encrypt the file and access it without a key for it?

    Without the key used to encrypt the content of a SQLCipher database, you can not decrypt the content of the database.
