permutation cipher for encrypting and decrypting a hexadecimal string
permutation cipher for encrypting and decrypting a hexadecimal string
Adds an extra layer of protection to your already encrypted code's hex output by essentially turning it into nothing but valid hex.

npm
$ npm install hex-permutation-cipher --save

//default options
{
reverse: false, // {boolean} ~ reverse hex string
lower: false, // {boolean} ~ output lowercase hex
buff: false // {boolean/array} ~ prepend/append random hex buffer
}
/*
* reverse should be set to either true or false for both
encrypt/decrypt ~ default: false
* buff accepts either a boolean for false or an array for true.
~ [1,2] would prepend/slice 1 byte(2 hex chars) to the start
and append/slice 2 bytes(4 hex chars) of random data to the end.
this should not be left as false!
