Overview

This is a simple encryption program that encrypts contents such as text files, images and other files in folders.

Usage

Here is an example to encrypt a folder path

./rustcrypt encrypt -r ./path/to/stuff -p password123

To decrypt just change the operation tag to this

./rustcrypt decrypt -r ./path/to/stuff -p password123

You can run ./rustcrypt --help to get a list of all the options

Note: Since this project does not have a system install be carful to not encrypt the binary file

Build from source (install)

Binary build: If you want to build a binary file then follow theses steps:

You are going to need:

• Rust and a linker (i.g MinGW) for compiling
• Git to clone this repo

If you have all those then clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/dhogenson/rustcrypt.git
cd rustcrypt

If all that goes well you can build from source

cargo build --release

that will make a binary file in target/release/ that you can run.

---

User wide install: This is very simlare to installing a binary, again you are going to need Rust and Git. To install user wide is pretty simple.

1. First clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/dhogenson/rustcrypt.git
cd rustcrypt

2. Install

cargo install --path .

If that's working then you can run the command any where

rustcrypt --version

Note: You might have to have the cargo folder in your PATH
