Command Line Crypter

Command Line Crypter is a super handy tool for encrypting and decrypting files right from the command line. It’s really easy to use, so you can run it from a batch file or script without any fuss. Plus, it uses solid encryption methods like the AES-256 cipher and SHA-512 for hashing.

How to Use Command Line Crypter

To get started with encrypting or decrypting a file, here’s what you need:

• Action: Choose whether to encrypt or decrypt.


• Source: This is where you’ll put the full path and name of the file you want to work on.


• Destination: Here’s where your new output file will go (either encrypted or decrypted).


• Passphrase: This acts as your encryption key—basically your password.


• <Delete source: Decide if you want to delete the original file after processing it.

Your Command Line Setup

The command line usage looks like this:

crp.exe

The Flags You Need

You’ll also need some flags for actions:

• -e: To encrypt


• -d: To decrypt


• -?: To show info about commands

If You Want to Delete the Source File

This is how you set that up:

• -y: Yes, delete it!


• -n: No, keep it!

Encrypting a Single File Example

If you want to encrypt a single file located at c:\\test\\file.ext and save it as c:\\temp\\newfile.any using 123456 as your key while deleting the original, just use this command:

crp -e c:\\test\\file.ext c:\\temp\\newfile.any 123456 -y

Using Wildcards for Multiple Files

Want to encrypt all .txt files in one go? Use wildcards! Here’s how:

crp -e *.txt *.* 1234 -n

This will create new files with .crp extensions and keep their original names. Cool, right?

Tips for Paths

If your files aren’t in the same folder as crp.exe, make sure to type out the full paths. And if there are spaces in those paths, don’t forget to wrap them in double quotes!
