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.
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.

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.
