Quick and dirty Python wrapper around 7z for bulk extraction of archives. Automates extracting a directory of encrypted archives with password list. Password list is passed in as a text file list of lines.
- Supports extraction of various archive formats supported by 7z.
- Kind of fast password checking with a user-provided list for encrypted archives.
This script is for when you are too lazy to manually match known passwords to a bunch of archives.
Many existing libraries either fail to fully extract all archive types, lack support for certain formats, or don't always handle password-protected archives well (RAR5 💀). This just invokes 7z for everything
- Python 3.x
- 7z (must be installed and in your system's PATH)
- Recursive extraction support
