Korify 🗜️

It is still Under 🚧 🛠️

• This is me trying to explore C, the concept of pointers, and the like. The encryption "algorithm" is not good (it's actually bad) and needs a lot of work.

• 👇 What is Korify 👇

korify is a  CLI tool designed for encrypting and decrypting plain text files of various formats, including:

📄 .txt
💻 .c
🔧 .cpp
🌐 .js
...and more!

🔒 Encrypt Files: Secure your files by encrypting them with a custom encryption key/string.
🔓 Decrypt Files: Decrypt your files using the same encryption key/string.
❗  Warning: Decrypting a file with the wrong key will still produce an output, but the content will differ from the original.

Usage

• You need to install C compiler, (gcc, llvm)

• Compile the program

  gcc -Iheaders -o kori main.c lib/*.c
  

  • Alternatively you can download the pre-combiled version https://github.com/koribot/korify/releases/tag/v0.0.0 , after donwloading it you cant open it directly as it will close immediately, you can run it by opening cmd in current directory where the pre-combiled version is downloaded and run:

      kori.exe "choose your command"
    

• Run the program

  • Encrypt file

   ./kori -ef "path to your source file" "path to your encrypted output file"
  

  $ ./kori -ef  main_encrypted.txt main_decrypted.txt
      ------------------------------
      | File successfully loaded |
      ------------------------------
      
      Enter your encryption string: korify
      ------------------------------
      | ** Encryption successful ** |
      ------------------------------
      --------------------------------------------
      | Encrypted output file ->: main_decrypted.txt |
      --------------------------------------------
  

  • Decrypt file -> (You can try to decrypt main_encrypted.txt with decryption string: walid)

   ./kori -df "path to your encrypted source file" "path to your decrypted output file"
  

  $ kori -df main_encrypted.txt main_decrypted.txt
      ------------------------------
      | File successfully loaded |
      ------------------------------
      
      Enter decrypting string: korify
      
      ---------------------------
      | Successfully Decrypted |
      ---------------------------
  

  • Even if you provide wrong decryption key it will still print "Successfully Decrypted", but the output file will not be the same as the original file

Commands

• -ef👉 short for encrypt file

  • ./kori -ef sample.txt encrypted.txt
  • ./kori -ef sample.txt -> get the sample.txt on the current directory

• -df👉 short for decrypt file

  • ./kori -df encrypted.txt decrypted.txt

• -h or help👉 prints help options

  • ./kori -h or ./kori -help

• -v or version👉 prints current version of korify

  • ./kori -v or ./kori -version

Todos

• make a better way of checking valid path
• improve encrypting logic - maybe provide a list of encryption "technique" to users
• make it cross platform
• use UTF-8 encoding instead of ASC II
