Bash loop unzip passworded file script

Question

I'm trying to make a script that will unzip a password protected file, the password being the name of the file that I will get when unzipping

Eg.

• file1.zip contains file2.zip and its password is file2.
• file2.zip contains file3.zip and its password is file3

How do I unzip file1.zip, and read the name of file2.zip so it can be entered in the script?

Here's a screenshot of the command line:

root@kaliVM:~/Desktop# unzip 49805.zip  
Archive:  49805.zip  
[49805.zip]  13811.zip password:  

I just need Bash to read that output in order to know the new password (In this case the password is 13811).

Here's what I've done so far

#!/bin/bash

echo First zip name:
read firstfile


pw=$(zipinfo -1 $firstfile | cut -d. -f1)
nextfile=$(zipinfo -1 $firstfile)
unzip -P $pw $firstfile

rm $firstfile
nextfile=$firstfile

Now how can I make it do the loop?

Answer 1

If you don't have and cannot install zipinfo for any reason, you can imitate it by using unzip with -Z option. To list the contents of the zip use unzip -Z1:

pw="$(unzip -Z1 file1.zip | cut -f1 -d'.')" 
unzip -P "$pw" file1.zip

Put it to a loop:

zipfile="file1.zip"
while unzip -Z1 "$zipfile" | head -n1 | grep "\.zip$"; do
    next_zipfile="$(unzip -Z1 "$zipfile" | head -n1)"
    unzip -P "${next_zipfile%.*}" "$zipfile"
    zipfile="$next_zipfile"
done

or a recursive function:

unzip_all() {
    zipfile="$1"
    next_zipfile="$(unzip -Z1 "$zipfile" | head -n1)"
    if echo "$next_zipfile" | grep "\.zip$"; then
        unzip -P "${next_zipfile%%.*}" "$zipfile"
        unzip_all "$next_zipfile"
    fi
}
unzip_all "file1.zip"

-Z zipinfo(1) mode. If the first option on the command line is -Z, the remaining options are taken to be zipinfo(1) options. See the appropriate manual page for a description of these options.

-1 : list filenames only, one per line. This option excludes all others; headers, trailers and zipfile comments are never printed. It is intended for use in Unix shell scripts.

Answer 2

Ask zipinfo for the filename listed in the zip file, then capture it for the password. Use that password to unzip the file:

pw=$(zipinfo -1 file1.zip | cut -d. -f1)
unzip -P "$pw" file1.zip

Note that the flag to zipinfo is a one not an ell.

Borrowing liberally from Gilles' answer to a similar question, here's a bash loop that will extract a password-protected nested zip file until there are no more zip files:

shopt -s nullglob
while set -- *.zip; [ $# -eq 1 ]
do 
  unzippw "$1" && rm -- "$1"
done

Where I've defined the function unzippw as a wrapper for the zipinfo and unzip commands above:

unzippw ()
{
    local pw=$(zipinfo -1 "$1" | cut -d. -f1)
    unzip -P "$pw" "$1"
}
