abrute - Multi-threaded AES Brute Force File Decryption

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

First you need to have aescrypt installed.

bash wget https://www.aescrypt.com/download/v3/linux/aescrypt-3.13.tgz tar -xzf aescrypt-3.13.tgz cd aescrypt-3.13/src make && sudo make install cd ../.. && rm -rf aescrypt-3.13

Next you need to have Rust installed.

bash curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

Then you can get and compile abrute.

bash git clone https://github.com/danielpclark/abrute.git cd abrute cargo build --release sudo cp target/release/abrute /usr/bin/
