Revelation is a password manager for the GNOME 2 desktop, released under the GNU GPL license. It stores accounts and passwords in a single, secure place, and gives access to them through a user-friendly graphical interface. This fork provides a basic CLI for decrypting Revelation password files.

The original project website is located at http://revelation.olasagasti.info/

Revelation CLI depends on:

• glib 2.16
• Python 2.3
• pycrypto 1.9
• cracklib

The raw XML contents of an encrypted Revelation 2 file can be dumped with (password will be prompted):

src/rvl my-revelation-file.rvl

The output can be combined with "xj" and "jq" to easily extract individual records. For example to find your Facebook password:

src/rvl my-revelation-file.rvl | xj | jq -r '
  .revelationdata.entry[] |
  select(.name | match("facebook"; "i")) |
  .field[] | select(.id == "generic-password") |
  .["$t"]'
