Getting error Keepass signature unrecognized on 2.29 file
Is there an update for this?

just doesn't work (keepass 2.5.4)

Not working with keepassxc 2.6.2

It has a double hexlify. end = "1%ld*%s" %(datasize, hexlify(dataBuffer)) should be end = "1%ld*%s" %(datasize, dataBuffer) If your cracking keepass 1's change this.

as for the others with exceptions, those are probably keepasses with keyfiles, they're not supported.
