Passwords for archive files [experimental]

ClamAV 0.99 allows for users to specify password attempts for certain password-compatible archives. Passwords will be attempted in order of appearance in the password signature file which use the extension of .pwdb. If no passwords apply or none are provided, ClamAV will default to the original behavior of parsing the file. Currently, as of ClamAV 0.99 [flevel 81], only .zip archives using the traditional PKWARE encryption are supported. The signature format is

    SignatureName;TargetDescriptionBlock;PWStorageType;Password

where:

The signatures for password attempts are stored inside .pwdb files.
