abrute - Multi-threaded AES Brute Force File Decryption
Also supports encrypted ZIP files!
Rather straight forward. It works but has much more improvements yet to come. This will use your CPU to the best of its ability so you may want to use this on a secondary system.
Installation
abrute needs the nightly build of Rust for the TryFrom trait.
To use the install script you need to have the following commands available on your
system curl wget unzip sudo cc
and possibly other build essentials for C.
For Ubuntu and Docker images of Ubuntu you can install these prerequisites with:
&&
NOTE: if you are not root you may need to precede apt-get
with sudo
The install.sh
script will check for Rust and aescrypt and proceed to install them
if they are missing (it will ask you if you want to install Rust).
First download the installation script locally.
Then verify that the contents of the installation script is safe to use (a no brainer). Then run
This install script will use sudo to copy the binary directly to /usr/bin
and make the
command abrute
available to you everywhere.
Manual Installation
First you need to have aescrypt installed.
&&
&&
Next you need to have Rust installed.

Then you can get and compile abrute.
