It features concurrent file processing while ensuring data authenticity and plausible deniability.\n\n### Features\n- Simple to use.\n- Cross platform.\n- Glob pattern support (wildcards).\n- Concurrent file processing. Each file is processed in it's own thread (goroutine).\n- Contents authenticity guarantees upon decryption via BLAKE2b MAC tag.\n- Plausible deniability. An encrypted file cannot be distinguished from a randomly generated one.\n- Secure [passphrase generation](#passphrase-generation) (using `-g` flag or standalone `generate` command).\n\n\n### Commands\n`encrypt`, `enc`, `e` - encrypt provided files.\n\n`decrypt`, `dec`, `d` - decrypt provided files.\n\n`generate`, `gen`, `g` - generate a passphrase.\n\n### Flags\n`--output, -o` - specify output directory.\n\n`--passgenlen, -g` - specify generated passphrase length (6 is the minimum). Ignored in decryption mode.\n\n`--overwrite, -w` - enable overwrite existing files.\n\n`--no-emoji, -n` - disable emojis and color in output.\n\n`--force` - force decrypt. Bypasses file authentication and, inherently, the password check. Useful if the encrypted file is corrupt (damaged) but you still want to decrypt it.\n\n`--unsafe-password` - replace interactive password prompt with the provided value. Intended for scripts/automation and reading password from environment variables. The \"unsafe\" prefix here is to indicate that the provided value will likely stay in the shell command history which is not safe.\n\n### Examples\n```\n# encrypt a text file\neddy e secret.txt\n\n# encrypt multiple files in parallel\neddy e secret.txt secret2.png secret3.mp4\n\n# encrypt a text file using a random 8-word passphrase\neddy -g 8 enc secret.txt\n\n# encrypt while overwriting output files (here it would be 'secret.txt.eddy')\neddy --overwrite encrypt secret.txt\n\n# decrypt a file and put it into Documents folder\neddy -wo ./Documents dec secret.txt.eddy\n\n# encrypt two files and put them both into the current folder\n# using the password 'supeR-$ecr3t'\n# without using any color or emojis in the output\neddy --unsafe-password \"supeR-$ecr3t\" --no-emoji -o . enc \"D:/stuff/secret.txt\" secret2.txt\n\n# decrypt every file starting with 'backup'\neddy d ./backup*\n\n# generate a 10-word passphrase without any en/decryption\neddy gen 10\n```\n\n## Installation\nThe following install options are available:\n\n#### Prebuilt binaries (releases)\nPrebuilt binaries are available for **Windows, Linux, and macOS (both x86 and ARM)**: download the latest release from the [releases](https://github.com/70sh1/eddy/releases) page for the desired OS.\n\n#### via Go\nIf you have [Go](https://go.dev/dl/) installed, the simplest way to get _eddy_ is to run:\n```shell\ngo install github.com/70sh1/eddy@latest\n```\n\u003e If you are on Linux and using this method with the default Go installation parameters, make sure that go bin path is added to your PATH environment variable: e.g. `export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin`\n\n#### Scoop\n_eddy_ is available as a part of [70sh1's scoop bucket](https://github.com/70sh1/jug). To install, you first need to add the bucket:\n```\nscoop bucket add jug https://github.com/70sh1/jug\n```\nAfter that, run:\n```\nscoop install eddy\n```\nAlternatively, if you don't want to add the bucket, you can run this:\n```\nscoop install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/70sh1/jug/refs/heads/master/bucket/eddy.json\n```\n\n#### Arch Linux\n_eddy_ is available as a [package in the AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/eddy). You can install it using an AUR helper (e.g. `yay`):\n```\nyay -S eddy\n```\n\n## Passphrase generation\nIf no password (empty one) was provided during encryption (this includes lack of `--unsafe-password` flag and leaving interactive password prompt empty), _eddy_ will generate and use a secure passphrase (length of 6 words by default). The length can be adjusted using `--passgenlen (-g)` flag. Additionally, if the `-g` flag is provided, the password prompt will be skipped automatically. The passphrase is generated using cryptohraphically secure PRNG provided by the OS and EFF's long wordlist. The `generate` command is also available for standalone generation.\n\n You can read more about passphrases [here](https://www.eff.org/dice).\n\n## What this tool doesn't do\n- _eddy_ doesn't delete input files.\n- _eddy_ doesn't preserve file timestamps (creation date and date modified).\n- _eddy_ doesn't use any methods to increase the resilience of a file, such as error correction code. Therefore, regular backups of important files are recommended.\n\n## Tips \u0026 notes\n- The maximum file size is **256 GiB**.\n- It is safe to rename any files that are encrypted with _eddy_. This means that decryption does not require `.eddy` in the file name.\n\n\n## How it works\n_eddy_ leverages `ChaCha20` for encryption paired with keyed `BLAKE2b` for data authentication (MAC). The `scrypt` KDF is used for producing keys. You can read more about the internals in the [spec file](https://github.com/70sh1/eddy/blob/main/SPEC.md).\n\n## Acknowledgements\n[urfave/cli](https://github.com/urfave/cli) - CLI framework.\n\n[cheggaaa/pb](https://github.com/cheggaaa/pb) - Progress bars.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2F70sh1%2Feddy","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2F70sh1%2Feddy","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2F70sh1%2Feddy/lists"}
