Thanks.  I think I have better suggestions. ;-)

dessh, derar, dezip, depdf, ...

where "de" is synonymous for "un", but it also means "de"crypt.

or:

ssh2john, rar2john, zip2john, pdf2john, ...

The latter will almost guarantee no conflict with other tools going
forward, and this naming convention is quite common:

$ ls /usr/bin/ps2*
/usr/bin/ps2ascii  /usr/bin/ps2pdf    /usr/bin/ps2pdf14  /usr/bin/ps2ps
/usr/bin/ps2epsi   /usr/bin/ps2pdf12  /usr/bin/ps2pdfwr
/usr/bin/ps2frag   /usr/bin/ps2pdf13  /usr/bin/ps2pk
$ ls /usr/bin/pdf2*
/usr/bin/pdf2dsc  /usr/bin/pdf2ps
