Many\nfeatures have been added to this including a **resume feature**, a\n**JSON endpoint**, **computer clustor workload splitting**, **character\nadjacency limitting**, and **custom CLI reporters**. Abrute will decrypt\nthe `.aes` and `.zip` extension files on any Linux compatible system.\n\n## Installation\n\n_abrute needs the nightly build of Rust for the TryFrom trait._\n\nTo use the install script you need to have the following commands available on your\nsystem `curl wget unzip sudo cc` and possibly other build essentials for C.\n\n---\n\nFor Ubuntu and Docker images of Ubuntu you can install these prerequisites with:\n\n```bash\napt-get update \u0026\u0026 apt-get install curl wget unzip sudo build-essential\n```\n\n_NOTE: if you are not root you may need to precede `apt-get` with `sudo`_\n\n---\n\nThe `install.sh` script will check for Rust and aescrypt and proceed to install them\nif they are missing _(it will ask you if you want to install Rust)_.\n\nFirst download the installation script locally.\n\n```bash\ncurl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielpclark/abrute/master/install.sh \u003e install.sh\n```\n\nThen verify that the contents of the installation script is safe to use (a no brainer).  Then run\n\n```bash\nbash install.sh\n```\n\nThis install script will use sudo to copy the binary directly to `/usr/bin` and make the\ncommand `abrute` available to you everywhere.\n\n### Manual Installation\n\nFirst you need to have aescrypt installed.\n\n```bash\nwget https://www.aescrypt.com/download/v3/linux/aescrypt-3.13.tgz\ntar -xzf aescrypt-3.13.tgz\ncd aescrypt-3.13/src\nmake \u0026\u0026 sudo make install\ncd ../.. \u0026\u0026 rm -rf aescrypt-3.13\n```\n\nNext you need to have [Rust installed](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html).  \n\n```bash\ncurl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- --channel=nightly\n```\n\nThen you can get and compile abrute.\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/danielpclark/abrute.git\ncd abrute\ncargo +nightly build --release\nsudo cp target/release/abrute /usr/bin/\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```\n  USAGE:  abrute \u003cRANGE\u003e \u003cCHARACTERS\u003e [OPTIONS] -- \u003cTARGET\u003e\n  \n   \u003cRANGE\u003e         Single digit or a range 4:6 for password length.\n   \u003cCHARACTERS\u003e    Characters to use in password attempt. Don't use quotes\n                   unless they may be in the password. Backslash may escape\n                   characters such as space.\n   -a, --adjacent  Set a limit for allowed adjacent characters. Zero will\n                   not allow any characters of the same kind to neighbor\n                   in the attempts.\n   -s, --start     Starting character sequence to begin with.\n   -z, --zip       Use `unzip` decryption instead of `aescrypt`.\n   -c, --chunk     Workload chunk size per core before status update.\n                   Defaults to 32.\n   --cluster       Takes an offset and cluster size such as 1:4 for the\n                   first system in a cluster of 4.  Helps different systems\n                   split the workload without trying the same passwords.\n   -r, --reporter  Use `spinner`, or `benchmark` to use a different command\n                   line reporter.\n   \u003cTARGET\u003e        Target file to decrypt.  The target must be preceeded\n                   by a double dash: -- target.aes\n   -h, --help      Prints help information.\n   -v, --version   Prints version information.\n```\n\n## License\n\nLicensed under either of\n\n * Apache License, Version 2.0, (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)\n * MIT license ([LICENSE-MIT](MIT-LICENSE) or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)\n\nat your option.\n\n### Contribution\n\nUnless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted\nfor inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any\nadditional terms or conditions.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdanielpclark%2Fabrute","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdanielpclark%2Fabrute","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdanielpclark%2Fabrute/lists"}
