I have some files on my system that have been encrypted using the "openssl" executable (via "openssl rc4 -e"), and I would like to decrypt them using the "OpenSSL" ruby module. I know that the salt and iv values are stored in the files that are encrypted by the openssl executable, but I haven't been able to properly extract that information from these files so that I can use this salt and iv with the ruby OpenSSL decryption functions. Can anyone point me to a ruby example for extracting this salt and iv info from an openssl-encrypted file, so I can then decrypt it via ruby's OpenSSL module? Thanks in advance. -- Lloyd Zusman ljz / asfast.com God bless you.
