This is an improved version of the exploit by deathflash1411

Original exploit: https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/50130

Improved Features

• Cracked password is now output as reconstructed password string instead of only output character by character
• The encrypted password string is now entered as an arguement instead of hardcoded
• The exploit now supports the decryption of all special characters

Usage

The cyphertext can be found at

C:\ProgramData\PY_Software\Argus Surveillance DVR\DVRParams.ini

Once you have obtained the cyphertext password

./exploit.py <encrypted password>

or

python3 exploit.py <encrypted password>

Footnote

#, &, ', and " are not present in the exploit code because it was found that argus surveillance strips these characters out if you enter them into the password field
