password-xls2strip

password-xls2strip is a Perl command line tool for exporting password and management information from a Microsoft Excel file to Strip Palm database (PDB) files, version 1.0. It requires to previously patch Palm::Zetetic::Strip Perl 5 module set to add write support to Palm database (PDB) files containing data from Strip.

Third party software

Strip and strip-dump are third party software.

- Strip is a password and management application running in Palm OS devices. It is based on AES-256 algorithm for data encryption.

- perl-strip is a collection of Perl 5 modules and scripts for interfacing with Strip. The strip-dump Perl script prints out Strip information on a desktop machine. The Palm::Zetetic::Strip package provides an object oriented interface to the Palm database files.

Export information to Strip Palm database files

I need to export password and management information from an Microsoft Excel file to Strip Palm database files. Strip and related software are unmaintained for a couple of years. So I have not added write support for the older Strip database version 0.5i mostly deprecated, but only the "last" version 1.0 .

Step by step procedure:

- Download and install perl-Crypt-Rijndael and perl-Digest-SHA256. They are available on Palm::Zetetic::Strip homepage.
- Download and untar Palm::Zetetic::Strip.
- Patch Palm::Zetetic::Strip with the diff file available at the bottom of this page.
- Install Palm::Zetetic::Strip following its README file.
- Download password-xls2strip, and run !
