TODO rename extract_otp_secret_keys

Extract two-factor authentication (2FA, TFA, OTP) secret keys from export QR codes of "Google Authenticator" app.
The secret and otp values can be printed and exported to json or csv. The QR codes can be printed or saved as PNG images.

## Installation

git clone https://github.com/scito/extract_otp_secret_keys.git
cd extract_otp_secret_keys

## Usage

### Capture QR codes from camera

1. Open "Google Authenticator" app on the mobile phone
2. Export the QR codes from "Google Authenticator" app
3. Point the QR codes to the camera of your computer
4. Call this script with the file as input:

    python extract_otp_secret_keys.py

### With builtin QR decoder from image files

1. Open "Google Authenticator" app on the mobile phone
2. Export the QR codes from "Google Authenticator" app
4. Save the captured QR codes as image files, e.g. example_export.png
5. Transfer the images files to the computer where his script is installed.
6. Call this script with the file as input:

    python extract_otp_secret_keys.py example_export.png

### With external QR decoder app from text files

1. Open "Google Authenticator" app on the mobile phone
2. Export the QR codes from "Google Authenticator" app
3. Read QR codes with a QR code reader (e.g. from another phone)
4. Save the captured QR codes in the QR code reader to a text file, e.g. example_export.txt. Save each QR code on a new line. (The captured QR codes look like `otpauth-migration://offline?data=...`)
5. Transfer the file to the computer where his script is installed.

  --keepass FILE, -k FILE     export totp/hotp csv file(s) for KeePass, - for stdout
  --printqr, -p               print QR code(s) as text to the terminal (requires qrcode module)
  --saveqr DIR, -s DIR        save QR code(s) as images to the given folder (requires qrcode module)
  --verbose, -v               verbose output
  --quiet, -q                 no stdout output, except output set by -

examples:
python extract_otp_secret_keys.py
python extract_otp_secret_keys.py example_*.txt
python extract_otp_secret_keys.py - < example_export.txt
python extract_otp_secret_keys.py --csv - example_*.png | tail -n+2
python extract_otp_secret_keys.py = < example_export.png</pre>

## Dependencies

    pip install -r requirements.txt

Known to work with

* Python 3.10.8, protobuf 4.21.9, qrcode 7.3.1, and pillow 9.2
* Python 3.11.1, protobuf 4.21.12, qrcode 7.3.1, and pillow 9.2

For protobuf versions 3.14.0 or similar or Python 3.6, use the extract_otp_secret_keys version 1.4.0.

### Shared libs installation for reading QR code images

For reading QR code images the zbar library must be installed.
If you do not extract directly from images, you do not need to install the zbar shared library.

For a detailed installation documentation of [pyzbar](https://github.com/NaturalHistoryMuseum/pyzbar#installation).

#### Windows

The zbar DLLs are included with the Windows Python wheels. On other operating systems, you will need to install the zbar shared library.

#### Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, ...)

    sudo apt-get install libzbar0

#### Linux (OpenSUSE)

    sudo zypper install libzbar0

#### Linux (Fedora)

    sudo dnf install libzbar0

#### Mac OS X

    brew install zbar

## KeePass

[KeePass 2.51](https://keepass.info/news/n220506_2.51.html) (released in May 2022) and newer [support the generation of OTPs (TOTP and HOTP)](https://keepass.info/help/base/placeholders.html#otp).

KeePass can generate the second factor password (2FA) if the OTP secret is stored in `TimeOtp-Secret-Base32` string field for TOTP or `HmacOtp-Secret-Base32` string field for HOTP. You view or edit them in entry dialog on the 'Advanced' tab page.

KeePass provides menu commands in the main window for generating one-time passwords ('Copy HMAC-Based OTP', 'Show HMAC-Based OTP', 'Copy Time-Based OTP', 'Show Time-Based OTP'). Furthermore, one-time passwords can be generated during auto-type using the {HMACOTP} and {TIMEOTP} placeholders.

In order to simplify the usage of the second factor password generation in KeePass a specific KeePass CSV export is available with option `-keepass` or `-k`. This KeePass CSV file can be imported by the ["Generic CSV Importer" of KeePass](https://keepass.info/help/kb/imp_csv.html).

If TOTP and HOTP entries have to be exported, then two files with an intermediate suffix .totp or .hotp will be added to the KeePass export filename.

Example:
- Only TOTP entries to export and parameter --keepass example_keepass_output.csv<br>
    → example_keepass_output.csv with TOTP entries will be exported
- Only HOTP entries to export and parameter --keepass example_keepass_output.csv<br>
    → example_keepass_output.csv with HOTP entries will be exported
- If both TOTP and HOTP entries to export and parameter --keepass example_keepass_output.csv<br>
    → example_keepass_output.totp.csv with TOTP entries will be exported<br>
    → example_keepass_output.hotp.csv with HOTP entries will be exported

Import CSV with TOTP entries in KeePass as

- Title
- User Name
- String (TimeOtp-Secret-Base32)
- Group (/)

Import CSV with HOTP entries in KeePass as

- Title
- User Name
- String (HmacOtp-Secret-Base32)
- String (HmacOtp-Counter)
- Group (/)

KeePass can be used as a backup for one time passwords (second factor) from the mobile phone.

## Technical background

The export QR code of "Google Authenticator" contains the URL `otpauth-migration://offline?data=...`.
The data parameter is a base64 encoded proto3 message (Google Protocol Buffers).

Command for regeneration of Python code from proto3 message definition file (only necessary in case of changes of the proto3 message definition or new protobuf versions):

    protoc --python_out=protobuf_generated_python google_auth.proto --mypy_out=protobuf_generated_python

The generated protobuf Python code was generated by protoc 21.12 (https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/tag/v21.12).

* Template code: https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis/pull/406

## Glossary

* OTP = One-time password
* TOTP = Time-based one-time password
* HOTP = HMAC-based one-time password (using a counter)
* 2FA = Second factor authentication
* TFA = Two factor authentication
* QR code = Quick response code

```
pipenv --rm
pipenv install
pipenv shell
python extract_otp_secret_keys.py example_export.txt
```

### Visual Studio Code Remote - Containers / VSCode devcontainer

You can you use [VSCode devcontainer](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers-tutorial) for running extract_otp_secret_keys.

Requirement: Docker

1. Start VSCode
2. Open extract_otp_secret_keys.code-workspace
3. Open VSCode command palette (Ctrl-Shift-P)
4. Type command "Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container"
5. Open integrated bash terminal in VSCode
6. Execute: python extract_otp_secret_keys.py example_export.txt

### venv

Alternatively, you can use a python virtual env for the dependencies:

    python -m venv venv
    . venv/bin/activate
    pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
    pip install -r requirements.txt

The requirements\*.txt files contain all the dependencies (also the optional ones).
To leave the python virtual env just call `deactivate`.

### devbox

Install [devbox](https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox), which is a wrapper for nix. Then enter the environment with Python and the packages installed with:

```
devbox shell
```

## Tests

### PyTest

There are basic [pytest](https://pytest.org)s, see `test_extract_otp_secret_keys_pytest.py`.

Run tests:

```
pytest
```
or
```
python -m pytest
```

#### Hints

Your tests can run against an installed version after executing pip install .

Your tests can run against the local copy with an editable install after executing pip install --editable .

If you don’t use an editable install and are relying on the fact that Python by default puts the current directory in sys.path to import your package, you can execute python -m pytest to execute the tests against the local copy directly, without using pip.

https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/explanation/pythonpath.html#pytest-vs-python-m-pytest

### unittest

There are basic [unittest](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/unittest.html)s, see `test_extract_otp_secret_keys_unittest.py`.

Run tests:

```
python -m unittest
```

### VSCode Setup

Setup for running the tests in VSCode.

1. Open VSCode command palette (Ctrl-Shift-P)
2. Type command "Python: Configure Tests"
3. Choose unittest or pytest. (pytest is recommended, both are supported)
4. Set ". Root" directory

## Development

### Build

```
pip install -e .
python src/extract_otp_secret_keys.py

pip wheel .
# --isolated
# --prefer-binary

python3.11 -m build --wheel
# =
pip wheel --no-deps .
```
