PS C:\Users\Caique>
Hi @caiquediass
Did you pip install --upgrade setuptools ?
Yeah, just wasted time, only algorithm code 1 and 2 are supported. This PDF uses code 4
Who would hook every exception without even trying to filter their severity.
@enela This should be fixed with using pypdf and the pypdf.errors.FileNotDecryptedError exception.
As a warning for other users tinyscript has an incredible number of dependencies so you may want to use a dedicated environment when installing it.
Here's a little dockerfile if anyone wants it. Just need to put the script in the same folder as this Dockerfile
# Build
FROM centos:7.9.2009
# set environment variables
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
ENV APP_HOME=/app
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
# install system dependencies
RUN yum update -y && \
yum install -y gcc python3 python3-pip python3-devel
RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip
# Install reqs and copy over files from context
COPY . $APP_HOME
RUN chmod +x $APP_HOME/*
RUN pip3 install pypdf tinyscript
docker build -t pdftool .
docker run --rm -it pdftool /bin/bash
>> python3 pdf-password-bruteforcer.py <filename>
tinyscript can't be installed on macos, win10 and ubuntu due to old pathlib dependency, see dhondta/python-tinyscript#24
