enc/dec Symmetric Cipher Encryption GUIs using Zenity.
I stuck mine in /usr/bin/ so i could just call the with "enc" or "dec" ...... obviously enc=encrypt and dec=decrypt ...... These are pretty self explanatory once you use them once. They need to use bash and zenity, so you can't call them with "sh dec" it needs to be "./dec" or if you've put them in your path ..... just "dec" should work. Once I have mine in /usr/bin/ ..... i usually create icons on the desktop that link to them ......... allowing me to with a click, encrypt or decrypt a message.
This is the first release of these two ....... so let me know of any "gotcha's". Being symmetric encryption, they aren't going to be NSA proof or anything, but I would like to have the script as secure as possible, so if there is anything you think i should do differently, let me know.
You can download them here
Code:
wget http://crouse.us/scripts/bash/encryption/dec ; wget http://crouse.us/scripts/bash/encryption/enc; chmod a+x dec; chmod a+x enc
Here is the code so far.
