WhatsApp network forensics: Decrypting and understanding the WhatsApp
call signaling messages

http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/research/pubs/index.php?file=%2Fpub%2F10979%2FWhatsApp.pdf&id=10979

we were able to acquire the following artifacts from the network traffic:
* WhatsApp phone numbers.
* WhatsApp phone call establishment metadata and datetime stamps.
* WhatsApp phone call termination metadata and datetime stamps.
* WhatsApp phone call duration metadata and datetime stamps.

* WhatsApp's relay server IP addresses used during the calls.
