AES-256 encrypted zip files are the only reason I use 7z from the command line instead of File Roller. File roller should at least tell you what encryption it is using. The original .zip encryption is a joke by today's standards. I had to install 7z just to figure out what encryption file-roller/zip was actually using (AES-128 on Ubuntu 12.04).
Here is a short script for running 7z with AES-256 without typing your password on the command line (and thus entering it into the history): read -s -p "Please enter a password: " backup_pass backup_pass="'"$backup_pass"'" 7z a -tzip -p$password -mem=AES256 destFile.zip folderOrFileName unset backup_pass -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220654 Title: file-roller will not open 256 AES zip files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/220654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
