# Simple AES-256-GCM File Encrypt/Decrypt CLI
## Installation
```bash
git clone git@github.com:Jee-vim/cryptic
cd cryptic
```
Make the script executable:
```bash
chmod +x cryptic.js
```
(Optional) Add to your system PATH to run it globally:
```bash
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/cryptic.js /usr/local/bin/cryptic
```
You can now run the tool directly as ./cryptic.js or cryptic if added to PATH.
## Usage
Encrypt a File
```bash
./cryptic.js -e
```
Decrypt a File
```bash
./cryptic.js -d
```
Help
```bash
./cryptic.js -h
```
Displays usage instructions and available flags.
## Notes
- Use a strong password; weak passwords can still be brute-forced.
- AES-256-GCM provides integrity checks; modified ciphertext will fail to decrypt.
- Designed for local use only, files are not uploaded anywhere.
