⚠️ Ciphey is being deprecated ⚠️

[bee-san]

Hey 👋🏻

We are currently in the middle of writing out a new automated decoding tool in Rust called Ares:
https://github.com/bee-san/Ares

As such, we do not have much time to spend on Ciphey 🙇🏻

We fully intend to replace Ciphey with Ares in the future, but for now Ciphey will stay and some PRs will be merged :)

Please note that Ares does not support all of the features of Ciphey currently, we recommend using both and if you're really stuck coming to our Discord channel #coded-messages for help!

Well, If you still want to use ciphey on your new python. I managed to build CipheyCore for python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, see https://github.com/liudonghua123/CipheyCore/releases/tag/0.3.2.

Because ciphey and it's dependence cipheydists is py3-none-any package which do not need to rebuild on new python environment.

And one exception is PyYAML dependence is locked to version >=5.3.1,<6.0.0 which is not available for new python, see https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/5.4.1/#files and https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/6.0.1/#files. So I removed the version lock in ciphey-5.14.0-py3-none-any.whl/ciphey-5.14.0.dist-info/METADATA.

ciphey_and_cipheycore_whls.zip

All work is just for fun. Use at your own risk.

Recommend to use the new https://github.com/bee-san/Ares.

I tried to run ciphey with some error importerror: DLL load failed while importing the specified module could not be found. related to ciphey_core_py.

So I try to dig into the C:\Users\Liu.D.H\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\cipheycore\_ciphey_core_py.pyd and found the ImportDescriptor is python312.dll which maybe wrong. I changed one bit of the pyd file. And now it worked for me.

  Ciphey is an automated decryption tool using smart artificial intelligence
  and natural language processing. Input encrypted text, get the decrypted
  text back.

  Examples:

      Basic Usage: ciphey -t "aGVsbG8gbXkgbmFtZSBpcyBiZWU="

Options:
  -t, --text TEXT            The ciphertext you want to decrypt.
  -q, --quiet                Decrease verbosity
  -g, --greppable            Only print the answer (useful for grep)
  -v, --verbose
  -C, --checker TEXT         Use the given checker
  -c, --config TEXT          Uses the given config file. Defaults to
                             appdirs.user_config_dir('ciphey',
                             'ciphey')/'config.yml'

  -w, --wordlist TEXT        Uses the given wordlist
  -p, --param TEXT           Passes a parameter to the language checker
  -l, --list-params BOOLEAN  List the parameters of the selected module
  --searcher TEXT            Select the searching algorithm to use
  -b, --bytes                Forces ciphey to use binary mode for the input
  --default-dist TEXT        Sets the default character/byte distribution
  -m, --module PATH          Adds a module from the given path
  -A, --appdirs              Print the location of where Ciphey wants the
                             settings file to be

I think maybe it's related to the CI environment but not sure. I also checked in _ciphey_core_py.pyd in cipheycore-0.3.2-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl, it's the same problems.

NEED HELP ABOUT THIS STRANGE PROBLEM!!!

[liudonghua123]

I have fixed pythonXY.dll dependence error, feel free to download and try it.

All the cipheycore wheels for python 3.9-3.12 for windows, linux and macos are available on https://github.com/liudonghua123/CipheyCore/releases/.

Here are the steps on how to install ciphey on Python 3.9-3.12.

1. Download ciphey-5.14.0-py3-none-any.whl (or you can download from PyPI and update ciphey-5.14.0-py3-none-any.whl/ciphey-5.14.0.dist-info/METADATA as followings) and appropriate cipheycore wheels from liudonghua123/CipheyCore. For instance, download cipheycore-0.3.2-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl if you are using python 3.11 on Windows.
2. Install cipheycore and ciphey in sequence via pip install <cipheycore/ciphey>.whl.
3. Test via ciphey --help
4. Done!
