No More Secrets
===============

This project provides a command line tool called `nms` that recreates the
famous data decryption effect seen on screen in the 1992 hacker movie Sneakers.
For reference, you can see this effect at 0:35 in [this youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5bAa6gFvLs&t=35).

This command works on piped data. Pipe any ASCII or UTF-8 text to `nms`,
and it will apply the effect to it, initially showing "encrypted" data,
then starting a decryption sequence to reveal the original plaintext data.

Also included in this project is a program called `sneakers` that recreates
what we see in the above movie clip. Note that this program requires the
user to select one of the menu options before it terminates.

Download and Install
--------------------

I am flattered that few *NIX platforms have added this project to their
package manager collection. If you're using one of the following systems,
you can install it from the package manager.

* openSUSE
* Homebrew (Mac OS X, see http://brew.sh/)
* FreeBSD

If your system is not on the list, you can easily install this project from
source. You will need to have `git`, `gcc`, and `make` installed to download
and build it. Install them from your package manager if they are not available.

To check if you have them installed:

```
$ which make
/usr/bin/make

$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc

$ which git
/usr/bin/git
```

Once those are installed, follow these instructions to download and install `nms`.

```
git clone https://github.com/bartobri/no-more-secrets.git
cd ./no-more-secrets
make
sudo make install
```

Uninstall:

```
$ sudo make uninstall
```

Usage
-----

`nms` works on piped data. All ASCII and UTF-8 character sets should be
supported.

After the initial "encrypted" characters are displayed, `nms` will wait
for the user to press a key before it starts the decryption sequence.

```
ls -l / | nms
ls -l / | nms -a           // Set auto-decrypt flag
ls -l / | nms -f green     // Set foreground color to green
```

#### Command Line Options

`-a`

This option sets the auto-decrypt flag. This will automatically start the
decryption sequence without a key press.

`-f color`

This option sets the foreground color of the decrypted text to the color
specified. Valid options are white, yellow, black, magenta, blue, green,
or red. This is blue by default.
