Crypt News

The crypt binary now has a GUI - thanks to independent development of Jan Penschuck for this. The popular cryptographic program is now for all. :)

Finally! The stable version is out. A nasty bug which added few bytes to end of every file has been fished out.

Finally in this version comes the real sense of encryption - overwrite original files. (Note: this is _NOT_ same as create a new file and delete original.) Becoz even deleted files contents can be partially (or fully) recovered using sw utilities (http://file-rescue.com, http://rognerud.com/file-recover/, etc etc..)

Also ignore non fatal errors option is included. Now while you are recursively encrypting your whole C: if some silly temp file gets moved in the meanwhile then the program will ignore it and continue encrypting other files.. :-)

With this we can now operate recursivily on directories upto (infinite) or any given level of depth..
4 Releases in 4 days straight... hmmmm... ?? not bad!

Finally in a decent state.. directory encryption is supported now..

Version 0.1.0
1. Performance (time) statistics included.
2. Support for multiple files included.
3. Better command line parsing, and error checking.

That was pretty fast - in one day straight !!! :-)

Password based file encryption using Windows CryptoAPI. Still a long way to go...
