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.
