Description

Based on information on the AdFind download page, the executable has been encrypted with the key contained in password.txt. Decrypt it.

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

How Has This Been Tested?

The download script now successfully downloads and extracts AdFind.exe, which did not work previously.

I didn't realize that #42 already exists. They were definitely the first to spot the issue. The only difference between #42 and this is that my change gets the password dynamically from the zip file.

I opened an issue a year ago about this: #41 (comment)

I think your approach is probably best as it's dynamic, in case the password is ever changed.
