CribDragger is a terminal editor to make crib dragging easy.
CribDragger will display a generic ciphertext and run a function that takes in changes in plaintext and then replaces it.
Example:
from crib_dragger import CribDragger, PartialString
with open("./ciphertext.txt", "r") as f:
ciphertext = f.read()
def on_change(prev: PartialString = None, current: PartialString = None):
if prev and current:
for i, (x,y) in enumerate(zip(prev, current)):
if x != y:
if y != None:
key.add_known(i, ciphertext[i], y)
else:
key.remove(i)
return some_decrypt_function(ciphertext, key)
CribDragger(ciphertext, on_change).run()There are still many unresolved issues at this stage but the program should be fairly usable.
This project initial was thought as a fork of this repo but eventually I figured building it from scratch would've just been easier. Still, shoutout to the original program.
