Description

It could be useful to have a decryption tool, so that you could take a page that's been encrypted by PageCrypt and run it through the tool (with the password) to edit the HTML again.

The code for this would look similar to what the PageCrypt template does to decrypt the page, except that the tool would then initiate a browser download of the unencrypted page html file.

Research direction

Start by reading the PageCrypt template's existing decryption code and identify how the encrypted page and password are handled in the browser. The work is done when a separate tool can decrypt a PageCrypt page and initiate a browser download of the unencrypted HTML file.
