No More Secrets

What is "No More Secrets"?

This project seeks to recreate the infamous "decrypting text effect" seen on screen in the 1992 hacker movie "Sneakers". If You are unfamiliar with the scene, the specific effect in question appears at 0:35 in this youtube video.

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 via a shell pipe and displays it in a maner that nearly identically mimicks the effect we see in the movie.

  2. A module for incorporating this effect in to other programs.

Installation

To install the standalone executable nms follow these steps:

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.

nms Usage

The nms binary accepts data via shell pipe. Simply pipe some data to it.

ls -l | nms

Once the "encrypted" data is displayed, the program will pause until you press a key. Then the decryption effect will start. After the descrytion effect is completed, it will again pause until you press a key, at which point the program will terminate.
