# scrambler A tool for encrypting and decrypting entire directories on-the-fly. scrambler uses a block cipher and passphrase to encrypt and decrypt files in-place, as a means for quickly securing content without having to move things and/or create archives. scrambler appends a `.enc` extension to encrypted files, so it can use context clues to determine whether you want to perform encryption or decryption. As of writing, this application uses an AES-256 block cipher, with a passphrase that's hashed by SHA-256. ## Usage ```shell # Show help information. scrambler -h scrambler --help # Encrypt or decrypt the current directory. scrambler # Encrypt or decrypt a specified directory. scrambler my-dir # Encrypt or decrypt a single file. scrambler path/to/my/file.txt # Encrypt or decrypt a directory recursively. scrambler my-dir -r # Add -v for verbose output. scrambler myfile.txt -v # Explicitly choose to encrypt with -e. scrambler my-dir -e # Explicitly choose to decrypt with -d. scrambler my-encrypted-dir -d # Supply a passphrase from a file. scrambler my-dir -p my-passphrase.txt ``` ## Download You can download a compatible release from the [releases](https://github.com/andrewlalis/scrambler/releases) page. If you can't find any release that's available for your system, you can build it yourself: ```shell git clone git@github.com:andrewlalis/scrambler.git cd scrambler dub build --build=release ```
