bkcrack

• Option to remove password protection (-D)
• Modernized and auto-formatted source code
• Added more automated tests
• Updated CI workflow

• Minor bugfixes related to password recovery
• Added basic automated tests
• Option to show version information (--version)

Features:

• Option for minimal password length for password recovery
• Implement exhaustive password search
• Continue password search if found password does not use expected character set
• Options to resume an interrupted attack or password recovery

Packaging:

• Removed OpenMP dependency, use standard C++ threads instead

• Load ciphertext's check byte (CRC or timestamp) automatically from
  encrypted archive and use as plaintext
• Ability to change an archive's password to a new password specified
  by its internal representation
• Option to derive the internal representation of a given password
• Option to keep the encryption header when writing deciphered data

• Ability to list entries in a ZIP archive.
• Ability to specify which ZIP entries to load by index instead of name
  to avoid character encoding issues on the command line.
• Add long option alternatives (e.g. --help for -h).

• Enable UTF-8 command line arguments on Windows
• Add support for Info-ZIP unicode path extra field

Fix a bug in Data constructor reported by @cxzstuff

• Python script to deflate data by @magnumripper in #45
• Loading plaintext from a file (-p parameter) is no longer mandatory.
  It can be given on the command line (-x parameter).
• Some code refactoring and cleaning up

Return 1 on failure (failed attack or password recovery) to enable easier scripting.

Added the ability to recover password from internal keys.

• Improve the CI workflow and add Win32 builds
• Truncate plaintext to 1 MiB by default to save RAM
• Minor tweaks

• Better Z reduction
• Filter keys with plaintext both forward and backward

• Added the ability to change an archive's password.

It was easier to implement than removing encryption and allows to
extract entries using regular archive managers and the new password.

• Loading ZIP files using Zip64 extensions is now supported
• Check which encryption algorithm is used when loading data from ZIP files (i.e. will not try to attack AES encrypted files)
• Improved doxygen documentation
• Minor style improvements and fixes

• Updated pdqsort
• Improved sparse plaintext loading
