Tweetpipe

A fork of the dum^H^H^Hsimplest encryption tool in the world, encpipe, but with the crypto replaced by tweetnacl. Password hashing is implemented by a custom tweet-like version of pbkdf2hmacsha512.

Usage

Encrypt a file using a password:

tweetpipe -e -p password -i inputfile -o outputfile

Decrypt a file using a password:

tweetpipe -d -p password -i inputfile -o outputfile

-i and -o can be set to - or omitted to read/write from the standard input/output.

-P password_file can be used to read the password, or an arbitrary long key (that doesn't have to be text) from a file.

If you don't feel inspired, -G prints a random password.

Example - encrypted file transfer:

nc -l 6666 | tweetpipe -d -p password
tweetpipe -e -p password -i /etc/passwd | nc 127.0.0.1 6666

Example - compressed, encrypted archives:

zstd -5 -v -c "$FILE" | tweetpipe -e -p "$PASSWD" -o "${FILE}.zst.tweetpipe"
