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

⚠️ Note: This project requires 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_core

If 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 build

As 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.
