Getting Started

Prerequisites

You need to have the triplesec python library installed, to install it with pip:

$ pip install triplesec

Installing

You can get the script directly here.

The script doesn't need any superuser privileges, just access to the files.

Usage Examples

To encrypt a file:

$ triplew enc p4ssw0rd confidential.md

To decrypt a file:

$ triplew dec p4ssw0rd confidential.md.triple

NOTE: The script automatically deletes your bash history to prevent the password to be found.

I don't know if this is a safe method of retrieving the password, so any help is appreciated.
