Rather straight forward. It works but has much more improvements yet to come. This will use your CPU to the best of its ability so you may want to use this on a secondary system.
First you need to have aescrypt installed.
wget https://www.aescrypt.com/download/v3/linux/aescrypt-3.13.tgz
tar -xzf aescrypt-3.13.tgz
cd aescrypt-3.13/src
make && sudo make install
cd ../.. && rm -rf aescrypt-3.13
Next you need to have Rust installed.
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
Then you can get and compile abrute.
git clone https://github.com/danielpclark/abrute.git
cd abrute
cargo build --release
sudo cp target/release/abrute /usr/bin/
USAGE: abrute <RANGE> <CHARACTERS> [OPTIONS] [--] <TARGET>
<RANGE> Single digit or a range 4:6 for password length.
<CHARACTERS> Characters to use in password attempt. Don't use quotes unless
they may be in password. Backslash may escape characters such
