No More Secrets
|

===============

What is "No More Secrets"?
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
"No More Secrets" is the name I've lovingly given to the infamous "decrypting text effect" seen on
|
|
screen in the 1992 hacker movie "Sneakers". If you are unfamiliar with the effect, the specific scene
|
|
that first shows it is at 0:35 in [this youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5bAa6gFvLs).
|
|
|
|
This project seeks to provide tools to recreate this effect in your projects. As a quick
|
|
example, I've included a program (called "sneakers"; type `make sneakers` when installing.) that
|
|
utilizes the provided code to recreate, almost identically, what we see in the above movie clip.

|
What's Provided
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
This project provides 2 tools for you to recreate this effect:
|
|
|
|
1. A standalone executable file named `nms`. This file accepts data from a shell pipe and displays it in a manner that is nearly identical to the effect we see in the movie.
|
|
|
|
2. A module, written in C, that can be used for incorporating this effect in to other programs.
|
|
|
|
Installing the Standalone Executable
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/bartobri/no-more-secrets.git
|
|
cd ./no-more-secrets
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will create an executable file named `nms` and place it in the `no-more-secrets/bin/` directory.
|
|
You may manually copy it in to your preferred bin directory.
|
|
|
|
Using the Standalone Executable
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
`nms` accepts data from a shell pipe. Simply pipe some data to it and enjoy the magic!
|
|
```
|
|
ls -l | bin/nms
|
|
```
|
|
Once the "encrypted" data is displayed, the program will pause until you press a key. Then the
|
|
decryption effect will start. After that is completed, it will again pause until
|
|
you press a key, at which point the program will terminate.
