[New Feature] Password list file

Post by hugbug » 22 Jan 2015, 21:03

As requested - added support for password list file:
  • new option "UnpackPassFile" to set the location of the file;
  • during unpack the passwords are tried from the file until unpack succeeds or all passwords were tried;
  • implemented different strategies for rar4 and rar5-archives taking into account the features of formats;
  • for rar5-archives a wrong password is reported by unrar unambiguously and the program can immediately try other passwords from the password list;
  • for rar4-archives and for 7z-archives it is not possible to differentiate between damaged archive and wrong password; for those archives if the first unpack attempt (without password) fails the program executes par-check (preferably quick par-check if enabled via option "ParQuick") before trying the passwords from the list;
  • another optimization is that the password list is tried only when the first unpack attempt (without password) reports a password error or decryption error; this saves unnecessary unpack attempts for damaged unencrypted archives.
Implemented in r1189 (15.0-testing).

Nice... I'll gladly give up on the password-list script ;)
It is much cleaner to do that internally :)

Is it possible to read out the correct used password and use this in another script?

Before each password is tried a message like "Trying password xxx for <nzb-name>" is printed.
In the pp-script you can obtain all messages printed for this nzb (see Logger.py) and then extract the password from the last message of this type.

first of all, please excuse my bad english.
i have some problems with the password file.
all passwords are in a txt file named password.txt.
in which form I need to specify the path?
${MainDir}/password/password.txt
or
/volume1/downloads/nzbget/password/password.txt ?

In the history item click on button "Log" and then check the messages. For each tried password it prints a message. If not sure post the log (via pastern.com) or send the log-file to me at nzbget@gmail.com.

The feature worked with the version before I upgraded to the current one.
Since using 16.4 it wont unrar on Mac with Yosemite. It just fails.

Example log:
Unpack for __foldername___ failed.
Second unpack attempt skipped for __foldername___ due to par-check not repaired anything
Repair not needed for __foldername___/5gLzibv1MvTEgAM3vd72EvZ11Y

Replaced the original foldername with __foldername___

UnpackPassFile is unchanged and contains the path to the password list.

Any ideas?
