Encrypts or decrypts the file(s) using algorithm based on XOR bitwise operation.

About algorithm - Implementation lib

Older C++ version: CLI

CLI

This cli encrypts or decrypts the file(s) in synchronized multi-buffered multithreading way.

So the only bottleneck is your disk read/write speed.

Installing CLI

$ cargo install xrc_cli

Usage

Encrypt

$ xrc_cli -e  file.ext
Before command:         After command:

random_folder           random_folder
    |- some_fld             |- some_fld
    |   |- t.txt            |   |- t.txt
    |   |- p.txt            |   |- p.txt
    |   |- in_fld           |   |- in_fld
    |       |- v.mp4        |       |- v.mp4
    |- file.ext             |- file.ext.xrc

With Folder

$ xrc_cli -e  file.ext some_fld
Before command:         After command:

random_folder           random_folder
    |- some_fld             |- some_fld
    |   |- t.txt            |   |- t.txt.xrc
    |   |- p.txt            |   |- p.txt.xrc
    |   |- in_fld           |   |- in_fld
    |       |- v.mp4        |       |- v.mp4
    |- file.ext             |- file.ext.xrc

Preserve source

$ xrc_cli -p -e file.ext some_fld
Before command:         After command:

random_folder           random_folder
    |- some_fld             |- some_fld
        |- t.txt            |   |- t.txt
        |- p.txt            |   |- t.txt.xrc
        |- in_fld           |   |- p.txt
        |   |- v.mp4        |   |- p.txt.xrc
        |- file.ext         |   |- in_fld
                            |       |- v.mp4
                            |- file.ext
                            |- file.ext.xrc

Iterate Recursively

$ xrc_cli -r -e  file.ext some_fld
Before command:         After command:

random_folder           random_folder
    |- some_fld             |- some_fld
    |   |- t.txt            |   |- t.txt.xrc
    |   |- p.txt            |   |- p.txt.xrc
    |   |- in_fld           |   |- in_fld
    |       |- v.mp4        |       |- v.mp4.xrc
    |- file.ext             |- file.ext.xrc
