[![Actions Status](https://github.com/kaz-utashiro/greple-pw/workflows/test/badge.svg)](https://github.com/kaz-utashiro/greple-pw/actions) [![MetaCPAN Release](https://badge.fury.io/pl/App-Greple-pw.svg)](https://metacpan.org/release/App-Greple-pw) # NAME pw - Interactive password and ID information extractor for greple # SYNOPSIS # Basic usage greple -Mpw pattern file # Search in encrypted files greple -Mpw password ~/secure/*.gpg # Configure options greple -Mpw --no-clear-screen --chrome password data.txt greple -Mpw --config timeout=600 --config debug=1 password file.txt # VERSION Version 1.02 # DESCRIPTION The **pw** module is a **greple** extension that provides secure, interactive handling of sensitive information such as passwords, user IDs, and account details found in text files. It is designed with security in mind, ensuring that sensitive data doesn't remain visible on screen or in terminal history. ## Key Features - **Interactive password handling** Passwords are masked by default and can be safely copied to clipboard without displaying the actual content on screen. - **Secure cleanup** Terminal scroll buffer and screen are automatically cleared when the command exits, and clipboard content is replaced with a harmless string to prevent sensitive information from persisting. - **Encrypted file support** Seamlessly works with PGP encrypted files using **greple**'s standard features. Files with "_.gpg_" extension are automatically decrypted, and the **--pgp** option allows entering the passphrase once for multiple files. - **Intelligent pattern recognition** Automatically detects ID and password information using configurable keywords like "user", "account", "password", "pin", etc. Custom keywords can be configured to match your specific data format. - **Browser integration** Includes browser automation features for automatically filling web forms with extracted credentials. Some banks use random number matrices as a countermeasure for tapping. If the module successfully guesses the matrix area, it blacks out the table and remembers them. | A B C D E F G H I J --+-------------------- 0 | Y W 0 B 8 P 4 C Z H 1 | M 0 6 I K U C 8 6 Z 2 | 7 N R E Y 1 9 3 G 5 3 | 7 F A X 9 B D Y O A 4 | S D 2 2 Q V J 5 4 T Enter the field positions to get the cell items like: > E3 I0 C4 and you will get the answer: 9 Z 2 Case is ignored and white space is not necessary, so you can type like this as well: > e3i0c4 # INTERFACE - **config** Module parameters can be configured using the **config** interface from [Getopt::EX::Config](https://metacpan.org/pod/Getopt%3A%3AEX%3A%3AConfig). There are three ways to configure parameters: - Module configuration syntax Use the **::config=** syntax directly with the module: greple -Mpw::config=clear_screen=0 - Command-line config option Use the **--config** option to set parameters: greple -Mpw --config clear_screen=0 -- Multiple parameters can be set: greple -Mpw --config clear_screen=0 --config debug=1 -- - Direct command-line options Many parameters have direct command-line equivalents: greple -Mpw --no-clear-screen --debug --browser=safari -- Currently following configuration options are available: clear_clipboard clear_string clear_screen clear_buffer goto_home browser timeout debug parse_matrix parse_id parse_pw id_keys id_chars id_color id_label_color pw_keys pw_chars pw_color pw_label_color pw_blackout ### Parameter Details - **Option naming** Configuration parameters use underscores (`clear_screen`, `id_keys`), while command-line options use hyphens (`--clear-screen`, `--id-keys`). - **Boolean parameters** Parameters like **clear\_screen**, **debug** can be set to 0/1. Command-line options support negation with `--no-` prefix (e.g., `--no-clear-screen`). - **List parameters** **id\_keys** and **pw\_keys** are lists of keywords separated by spaces: --config id_keys="USER ACCOUNT LOGIN EMAIL" --config pw_keys="PASS PASSWORD PIN SECRET" - **Password display control** **pw\_blackout** controls password display: 0=show passwords, 1=mask with 'x', >1=fixed length mask. - **PwBlock integration** Parameters **parse\_matrix**, **parse\_id**, **parse\_pw**, **id\_\***, and **pw\_\*** are passed to the PwBlock module for pattern recognition and display control. - **pw\_status** Print current configuration status. Next command displays current settings: greple -Mpw::pw_status= dummy /dev/null This shows which parameters are set to non-default values and which are using defaults. # BROWSER INTEGRATION The pw module includes browser integration features for automated input. Browser options are available: - **--browser**=_name_ Set the browser for automation (chrome, safari, etc.): greple -Mpw --browser=chrome - **--chrome**, **--safari** Shortcut options for specific browsers: greple -Mpw --chrome # equivalent to --browser=chrome greple -Mpw --safari # equivalent to --browser=safari During interactive mode, you can use the `input` command to send data to browser forms automatically. # EXAMPLES - Search for passwords in encrypted files greple -Mpw password ~/secure/*.gpg - Use with specific browser and no screen clearing greple -Mpw --chrome --no-clear-screen password data.txt - Configure custom keywords and timeout greple -Mpw --config id_keys="LOGIN EMAIL USER" --config timeout=600 password file.txt - Check current configuration greple -Mpw::pw_status= dummy /dev/null # SEE ALSO [App::Greple](https://metacpan.org/pod/App%3A%3AGreple), [App::Greple::pw](https://metacpan.org/pod/App%3A%3AGreple%3A%3Apw) [https://github.com/kaz-utashiro/greple-pw](https://github.com/kaz-utashiro/greple-pw) # AUTHOR Kazumasa Utashiro # LICENSE Copyright (C) 2017-2025 Kazumasa Utashiro.
