Broaden the title a little bit: this is useful as a dupe target for questions about how to decrypt the backups in general (not just for accessing the WiFi keys)

How can I access data (such as WiFi keys) in an encrypted Titanium backup?

How can I decrypt an encrypted "Titanium Backup" backup using standard (linux) tools?

#Example:#

Wi-Fi serves as a practical example, many other uses may apply to the solution I'm looking for.

If I quickly want to access backuped Wi-Fi credentials from my Linux box I know a fast way. With encrypted backups I'm currently out of luck.

That's my quick&dirty way how to do it without encryption so far:

me@local:~$ adb shell
root@android:/ # cd /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/
root@android:/sdcard/TitaniumBackup # ls W46.*gz
com.keramidas.virtual.WIFI_AP_LIST-20120622-105046.tar.gz
root@android:/sdcard/TitaniumBackup # gunzip -c W46.*gz | grep -C1 MyAccessPoint
network={

ssid="MyAccessPoint"
psk="supersecrecretpassphrase"
