zip-password-finder

New feature

Introduce new option to pass a custom charset via a txt file.

zip-password-finder -i target.zip --charsetFile file-charset.txt

Where the file contains a single line of characters to use for password generation.

• remove dependency on crossbeam because it is not necessary anymore
• update all dependencies

What's Changed

• migrate to new zip2 crate
• contribute AES info extractor upstream https://github.com/zip-rs/zip2/pull/143
• fix publishing to crates.io by getting off fork (https://github.com/agourlay/zip-password-finder/issues/46)
• slightly improve performance via LTO fat
• improve error messages

The charset selection interface is now similar to Hashcat for more flexibility.

  l | abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz [a-z]

• optimize password generator
• optimize password dictionary reader

• optimize password generator
• load ZipCrypto archives in memory to speed up the validation

Fix crates.io release.

7% speed on brute forcing AES encrypted archives by not recomputing the archive key for each password.

• cleanup worker loop
• publish to crates.io https://github.com/agourlay/zip-password-finder/pull/41

New architecture based on iterators

Each worker gets a dedicated iterator to fetch the passwords to test, either generated or from a dictionary.

This minimizes the contention between threads and offers better performance and scalability.

minor performance improvements

• faster workers by removing progress bar contention
• faster dictionary length computation
• do not crash on non UT8 strings in dictionary
• new basic charset mode

Improve scaling and user experience.

First release.
