Full Discussion: Need someone to decrypt an encoded text
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Need someone to decrypt an encoded text Post 302914367 by aquariusinterac on Monday 25th of August 2014 09:23:54 AM

base64
I'm not sure offhand if you can combine the commands in that way.

if what you want to do is decode the base64 and then decrypt the output, you can do something like:

Code:
base64 -d filename.txt > decoded.txt

and then with the decoded.txt work with it in openssl

if it's been encrypted, you'll need a private key to decrypt it which I didn't notice on your command line.

You may be able to combine the two steps together but try and get them sorted one at a time until you at least understand the workflow required before getting fancy and trying to do it all in one shot.

Hope this helps you out.
