Decrypt OpenSSL Archive
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have an archive named “archive.tar.bz2” that was encrypted with OpenSSL using a passphrase I no longer possess. There are no password hints or partial phrases available. While the data is not time-critical, recovering it is important to me.
You will attempt to recover the passphrase—or bypass it—using any lawful means such as brute-force, dictionary or other advanced cryptanalytic techniques.
Deliverables:
• A fully decrypted tar.bz2 archive (or its extracted contents)
• A brief outline of the method and tools you used so I can verify and reproduce the process if necessary
Please confirm your experience with OpenSSL encryption formats and password-cracking frameworks when you respond.
