About

Recursive Extractor is a Cross-Platform .NET Standard 2.0 Library and Command Line Program for parsing archive files and disk images, including nested archives and disk images.

Supported File Types

7zip+	ar	bzip2
deb	gzip	iso
rar^	tar	vhd
vhdx	vmdk	wim*
xzip	zip+

Details

* Windows only
+ Encryption Supported
^ Rar version 4 Encryption supported

Variants

Command Line

Installing

1. Ensure you have the latest .NET SDK.
2. run dotnet tool install -g Microsoft.CST.RecursiveExtractor.Cli

This adds RecursiveExtractor to your path so you can run it directly from the shell.

Running

Basic usage is: RecursiveExtractor --input archive.ext --output outputDirectory

Detailed Usage

• input: The path to the Archive to extract.
• output: The path a directory to extract into.
• passwords: A comma separated list of passwords to use for archives.
• allow-globs: A comma separated list of glob patterns to require each extracted file match.
• deny-globs: A comma separated list of glob patterns to require each extracted file not match.
• raw-extensions: A comma separated list of file extensions to not recurse into.
• no-recursion: Don't recurse into sub-archives.
• single-thread: Don't attempt to parallelize extraction.
• printnames: Output the name of each file extracted.

For example, to extract only ".cs" files:

RecursiveExtractor --input archive.ext --output outputDirectory --allow-globs **/*.cs

Run RecursiveExtractor --help for more details.

.NET Standard Library

Recursive Extractor is available on NuGet as Microsoft.CST.RecursiveExtractor. Recursive Extractor targets netstandard2.0+ and the latest .NET, currently .NET 6.0.

Usage

The most basic usage is to enumerate through all the files in the archive provided and do something with their contents as a Stream.

using Microsoft.CST.RecursiveExtractor;

var path = "path/to/file";
var extractor = new Extractor();
foreach(var file in extractor.Extract(path))
{
    doSomething(file.Content); //Do Something with the file contents (a Stream)
}

Extracting to Disk

This code adapted from the Cli extracts the contents of given archive located at `options.Input` to a directory located at `options.Output`, including extracting failed archives as themselves.

using Microsoft.CST.RecursiveExtractor;

var extractor = new Extractor();
var extractorOptions = new ExtractorOptions()
{
    ExtractSelfOnFail = true,
};
extractor.ExtractToDirectory(options.Output, options.Input, extractorOptions);

Async Usage

This example of using the async API prints out all the file names found from the archive located at the path.

var path = "/Path/To/Your/Archive"
var extractor = new Extractor();
try {
    IEnumerable<FileEntry> results = extractor.ExtractFileAsync(path);
    await foreach(var found in results)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(found.FullPath);
    }
}
catch(OverflowException)
{
    // This means Recursive Extractor has detected a Quine or Zip Bomb
}

The FileEntry Object

The Extractor returns `FileEntry` objects. These objects contain a `Content` Stream of the file contents.

public Stream Content { get; }
public string FullPath { get; }
public string Name { get; }
public FileEntry? Parent { get; }
public string? ParentPath { get; }
public DateTime CreateTime { get; }
public DateTime ModifyTime { get; }
public DateTime AccessTime { get; }

Extracting Encrypted Archives

You can provide passwords to use to decrypt archives, paired with a Regex that will operate against the Name of the Archive.

var path = "/Path/To/Your/Archive"
var directory
var extractor = new Extractor();
try {
    IEnumerable<FileEntry> results = extractor.ExtractFile(path, new ExtractorOptions()
    {
        Passwords = new Dictionary<Regex, List<string>>()
        {
            { new Regex("\.zip"), new List<string>(){ "PasswordForZipFiles" } },
            { new Regex("\.7z"), new List<string>(){ "PasswordFor7zFiles" } },
            { new Regex(".*"), new List<string>(){ "PasswordForAllFiles" } }

        }
    });
    foreach(var found in results)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(found.FullPath);
    }
}
catch(OverflowException)
{
    // This means Recursive Extractor has detected a Quine or Zip Bomb
}

Exceptions

RecursiveExtractor protects against ZipSlip, Quines, and Zip Bombs. Calls to Extract will throw an OverflowException when a Quine or Zip bomb is detected.

Otherwise, invalid files found while crawling will emit a logger message and be skipped. RecursiveExtractor uses NLog for logging.

Feedback

If you have any issues or feature requests (for example, supporting other formats) you can open a new Issue.

If you have an archive you are having trouble parsing a specific archive, it is helpful if you can include an archive that demonstrates the issue.

Dependencies

Recursive Extractor uses a number of libraries to parse archives.

• SharpZipLib
• SharpCompress
• DiscUtils
