Cross-Platform tool for de-/encrypting strings, files and sock-streams. Still in development
About
Ghost is a tool based on Python, that can encrypt or decrypt text-files, strings and sock-streams. In the base implementation it contains the core classes and functions for the de-/encryption of strings and files and additional an encrypted chat-system.
Encryption
Ghost uses a simple but secure encryption, which decrypts a string with a given or random key to non-readable cypher text. This text can be decrypted with the cypher text itself, the key, and the char-list used for encryption. It can decode the usual utf-8 signs, but be aware that other signs like "ß" or "©" will be skipped in the encryption. A randomly generated key with 60 signs and the default 93 possible default-chars has 93^60 possible positions and would take a lot more than 5*10^14 years to crack. Because of this, the encryption is with a random key probably uncrackable.
How to use
You can install the phantom package with pip install ghost-encrypt
. This contains how mentioned above, the functions
and classes for the de-/encryption of strings, text-files and sock-streams, as well as the arg-parser
package. The
tool can be integrated, but it works as standalone, too. Just type ghost --help
or if that doesn't work
py -m ghost --help
to get a list and an interface to execute the commands.
Usage examples
I personally use that script to de-/encrypt my passwords file and sometimes for chatting with my friends
(Encryption can be removed by passing 'a' as the key). It is also very useful when u are storing data for
a game that shouldn't be modified or for decrypting passwords on a backend.
Look at the example files or at __main__.py
to see some usages.
