otrtool

otrtool aims to provide an open source tool to deal with otrkey-files from OnlineTvRecorder.com. At the moment it is able to decrypt them, in the future a download manager and/or EPG could be added.

Produces nice output!

Packages for your distribution of choice

If you miss a package, contact me!

It would be nice to have package maintainers that frequently use the distribution in question. Currently this only is the case for the gentoo-package.

The rpm and deb based packages were built using the suse build services: home:pyropeter:otrtool.

Arch Linux

Gentoo

Debian Lenny

Debian Sid

Sid is not (yet?) supported by the suse build service. The Lenny package could work, try it.

Ubuntu 10.04: Lucid Lynx

OpenSUSE 11.3

History

In April, 2010, eddy14 reverse-engineered the otrkey-file-format and OTRs Client-Server-protocol. He described his work in a german blog post. He also wrote a proof-of-concept tool to decrypt OTRKEYs. I rewrote it in proper C and without licensing issues.
