SAB version 3.4.2
Ubuntu 18.04.6

I have been experiencing the following recently:

NZB with multiple encrypted rars (main file, extras, trailers, etc...)

inside NZB, can find multiple passwords for the archives:

Code: Select all

cat ./NZB_NAME.nzb| grep password
   <meta type="password">l8O8X6s6xeu3v1e</meta>
   <meta type="password">pI34rb489MCI2j6</meta>

SAB downloads (I un-set the encyrpted rar check) and begins to unpack (tried with and without direct unpack enabled, same outcome)

it will try one of the passwords against every archive, unrar the one it matches to, then fail the rest :

Is there a way to tell SAB to check and retry with more given passwords?

Posted: **November 10th, 2021, 3:13 pm**

You can add them all to your passwords file, see Config Folders.
Then it will try them all.

I've never seen these NZB files with multiple passwords, seems exotic.. The code is only suitable for single password jobs.

Posted: **November 10th, 2021, 3:18 pm**

Yea. But then. I would have to manually do that for every nzb packaged the same way? Less than ideal, though I understand the reasoning.

I don’t particularly care about the extras, is there a way to have SAB pick the password for the largest archive of the bunch?

Posted: **November 10th, 2021, 3:23 pm**

Not really a quick way..

Is there a specific source that makes NZB's like this? Some indexer?

Posted: **November 10th, 2021, 4:17 pm**

its strange acually, first ive seen them too. Its releases from "tigole" but most likely re-packaged. if you send me a PM i can link you to one of the NZBs if youre interested

Posted: **November 11th, 2021, 7:41 am**

Seems we just ignore all but the first password if there are multiple.

Posted: **November 12th, 2021, 7:03 am**

Would be interesting to know what genius thought it was a good idea to model an nzb after frankenstein's monster. Assuming there's a matching archive for every password listed, just figuring out which password belongs to each archive would take approximately n2/2 attempts. For the example in the topic start that means doing ~264 extraction attempts in a single job just to process 23 archives.

Posted: **November 12th, 2021, 7:45 am**

Yep.. But most likely they are in order. So the first job we try the first password, and it works. Second job we already have to try the first password, then the second one, which matches and so on.
Still requires a lot of attempts, but since it's all automated the user isn't bothered with it.

Posted: **November 13th, 2021, 2:17 am**

If we go by that assumption (or even if we assume every password is typically only used for one archive if an nzb supplies more than one), reordering the nzb-supplied passwords by moving "used" ones to the end of the list could save quite a few futile attempts.
