Encryption/decryption on linux

[linux_notes]

I have created a small program to encrypt/decrypt trunk notes on linux. It uses the openssl library and should be compiled as:

Code: Select all

g++ -o tn_enc tn_enc.cpp -lssl


The input filename is hardcoded (test.mkd). If the input is encrypted, it will be decrypted. If the input is a plain text Trunk_Note, it will be encrypted.
Warning: The code is very elementary and does not check if the password is correct!
Use at your own risk!

A minor update.

• Added command line arguments. It is now possible to specify input, output filenames.
• Can possible to specify name/location of the file Special:Encrypt.markdown
• The code verifies the entered password before encrypting/decrypting the files

To compile, unzip and run make.

Code: Select all

unzip tv_enc_v0.1.zip
cd tn_enc
make


Usage:

Code: Select all

tn_enc -i <path/to/input.markdown> -o <path/to/encrypted_out.markdown>  -s <path/to/special.markdown>


Disclaimer: Code is still a hack, with minimal error checking. Use at your own risk
