Passwords specified for archives

In the

Cylance

TcpService.ini configuration file, you can specify a set of default passwords that get automatically applied, in order, if the archive cannot be opened. If a specific password is known for an archive, it can be passed as part of the Command field. The syntax follows that for URLs:

Score?pw=foo
Score?pw=foo&pw=bar
Score?pw=foo,bar
Score?pw=foo,bar&pw=baz

One or more passwords can be sent with the command as long as the total length of the command and all passwords does not exceed the 255 bytes allowed for the command. The first password is separated from the command with a

?pw=

. The string following the "=" is a comma-delimited list of passwords. Spaces are not allowed in passwords that are passed via this mechanism.

Alternatively, instead of using a comma-separated list, the pw specifier can be repeated multiple times by using

&pw=

. As long as the total command length does not exceed 255 bytes, no limit exists on the number of times that this can be repeated, or how many elements are in one of the comma-separated lists.

The syntax for the Explain command is the same except that

Explain

is substituted for

Score

.
