Looking for a way to password protect a file on asuswrt, or at least open/extract a password protected zip archive. Googling a way to do this suggests gpg or crypt but neither of those is available on asuswrt. The unzip binary included doesn't seem to support passwords. Any suggestions?
EDIT: nevermind, 7z is available. Also apparently openssl can encrypt stuff too.
EDIT2: For anyone finding this, openssl can encrypt files, but early versions of openssl use weak key generation so they're not recommended for that purpose. That means the stock openssl in versions of asuswrt pre-386. In 386 openssl was upgraded to 1.1.1, which allows strong encryption for files.
