Doc improvement proposal - decrypt binary files #18

Closed mefistotelis closed 5 years ago

mefistotelis commented 5 years ago

I'm pretty sure there are people to whom this is news - the tool can be used to decrypt binary files as well. As .tar.gz files are quite popular, I'd add to the "Examples" in README:

Try to find the password of a file which was compressed with gzip and then encrypted with des3. Supplying non-text characters via command line (ie. magic values which identify beginning of gzip file) may require specific shell - this example is prepared for bash. Using 8 threads, trying only passwords up to 9 characters, where characters are digits:

./bruteforce-salted-openssl -t 8 -v 5 -c des3 -m 9 -s "0123456789" -M "$(echo -ne "\x1f\x8b")" file.tar.gz.encrypted

(I was too lazy for pull request - sorry!)
