An axx file decryption tool.
This tool can decrypt AxCrypt-encrypted files. I made this because I needed a simple native tool to decrypt axx files on Linux and I didn't want to use WINE.
The newest standalone version can be downladed from GitHub Releases or build from sources using cargo build --release.
```text axxd 0.1.0 Axxd - an [axx] file [d]ecryptor
USAGE: axxd [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -n, --no-overwrite Abort when target file already exists -o, --overwrite Overwrite target file if exists -V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-f, --file
If you don't specify -f or -p options, you will be asked for the missing parameters.
Example:
text
$ ./axxd -p secret.axx
Enter passphrase:
test
Decrypting secret.axx...
File successfully decrypted. Saving into "secret.txt".
The app will ask you if a target file already exists.
To decrypt files in fully non-interactive mode, use -o or -n.
```text $ ./axxd -f secret.axx Enter passphrase: test Decrypting secret.axx... File successfully decrypted. Saving into "secret.txt". WARNING: File already exits. Proceed? [y/n] n Aborting.
$ ./axxd -f secret.axx -p test -n Decrypting secret.axx... File successfully decrypted. Saving into "secret.txt". WARNING: File already exits. Aborting. ```
You can simply decrypt a file using a decrypt_file<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P, passphrase: &str) function.
It reads the file and then tries to decrypt it using a given passphrase.
Returns decrypted content as result.
rust
match decrypt_file(&source_file, &pass) {
Ok(content) => save_file(content),
Err(e) => {
println!("Cannot decrypt file.");
display_error_and_quit(e);
}
}
You can also use decrypt(data: &EncryptedContent, passphrase: &str) to decrypt raw content.
To parse raw bytes into EncryptedContent, use the parse function
```rust let data = EncryptedContent::parse(&input); decrypt(&data, passphrase) ````
