Inofficial tool and library to decrypt AES Crypt(TM) files.
They usually have an .aes file ending.
Usage
aescrypt-tools --decrypt file # decrypts file and writes it to stdout
aescrypt-tools --verify file # just verify file without printing contents
The password can be provided with --password
or stored in a file with
--password-file
. Otherwise the password will be read from stdin.
If you want to use this project as a library, create a decrypter
using NewDecrypter
, which implements the Reader interface.
Status
Decrypting files of version 2 works. There may be still some unexpected
behaviour on corrupted files.
Decrypting files of version 0 and 1 theoretically works. I didn't find files
to test this yet.
This project may very well work with a lesser version of golang. Just report
which version and I'll update go.mod
accordingly.
