# Enc
Enc is a command-line tool for encrypting and decrypting files and folders using AES encryption. Encrypted files can only be decrypted with the key specified by the user.
## Features
- Encrypt files and folders
- Decrypt encrypted files and folders with the user-specified key
## Installation
Clone the repository to your local machine:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/martian58/enc.git
cd enc
chmod +x install_requirements
chmod +x enc
./install_requirements
```
## For global usage
```bash
sudo cp enc /bin
```
## Usage
To encrypt a file:
```bash
enc --encrypt f
```
To encrypt a folder:
```bash
enc --encrypt F
```
To decrypt an encrypted file:
```bash
enc --decrypt f
```
To decrypt an encrypted folder:
```bash
enc --decrypt F
```
You will be prompted to enter the encryption/decryption key, which must be at least 16 characters long.
## Example
Encrypt a file:
```bash
enc --encrypt f secret.txt
```
Decrypt the encrypted file:
```bash
enc --decrypt f secret.txt
```
Encrypt a folder:
```bash
enc --encrypt F secret_folder
```
Decrypt the encrypted folder:
```bash
enc --decrypt F secret_folder
```
## Note
Make sure to keep your encryption key secure. Once a file or folder is encrypted, it can only be decrypted with the correct key.
