CipheyCore
Some cryptanalysis tidbits written in a proper language
This core provides many crackers, encryption methods & decryption methods as well as cryptanalysis tidbitis to Ciphey. Written in C++ for the speed.
Installation
CipheyCore can be installed via MacPorts:
sudo port install py-cipheycore
By default, this installs CipheyCore for python 3.9. To install it for Python 3.8, replace py-cipheycore with py38-cipheycore.
Dependencies
CipheyCore builds as a static library, but depends on some of Boost's header-only libraries.
| Platform | Command |
|---|---|
| Debian/Ubuntu/Mint | apt-get install libboost-dev cmake build-essential swig |
| Arch | pacman -S boost gcc cmake make swig |
| CentOS/RHEL | yum install boost-devel cmake3 llvm-toolchain-7 make swig |
| Homebrew (macOS) | brew install boost swig |
| MacPorts (macOS) | sudo port install cmake boost poetry swig-python swig |
| Chocolatey (Windows) | choco install swig and install boost from boost.org |
gcc>=8. Depending on which platform you are on, you might experience that the default gcc is a lower version. You can check your gcc version by running gcc -v.
Building
CipheyCore can be used as a C++ library for use in other C++ projects, or as a python3 module (with reduced functionality and speed).
The python module depends on the C++ library, so follow both instructions if you want the python module.
C++ library
Linux/OSX/other Unices
git clone https://github.com/Ciphey/CipheyCore
cd CipheyCore
rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCIPHEY_CORE_TEST=OFF # Or '-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug' for a debug build
cmake --build . -t ciphey_coreIf that doesn't work, try setting -DCIPHEY_CORE_PYTHON= to the folder containing your python headers and -DBOOST_ROOT= to the directory containing your boost headers.
Windows
git clone https://github.com/Ciphey/CipheyCore
cd CipheyCore
rd /S build
cd build
cmake .. -DCIPHEY_CORE_TEST=OFF
cmake --build . -t ciphey_core --config Release # Or '--config Debug' for a debug build
poetry buildAs with the Unix compilation, if you are having problems with missing files, try setting -DCIPHEY_CORE_PYTHON and BOOST_ROOT.
Python3 library
This requires python-poetry, which can be installed with python3 -m pip install poetry (or, failing that, python -m pip install poetry).
After you have built the C++ library, compile the python interface with
cmake --build . -t ciphey_core_py --config Release # Or '--config Debug' for a debug build
poetry build
The wheel will be located in the dist folder. The source distribution (.tar.gz file) produced is rather useless, as it contains the compiled platform-specific library.
