# 💀ShadowCrypt💀

## 📜 Description

ShadowCrypt is a powerful and easy-to-use encryption tool that helps you protect your sensitive files and directories using **AES-256 encryption**. Whether you need to safeguard personal documents or secure confidential data, CryptShield ensures that your files remain private and tamper-proof.

## 🔑 Features

✅ **AES-256 Encryption** – Industry-standard encryption for maximum security.  

✅ **Interactive CLI** – No need for command-line arguments; just follow the prompts.  

✅ **Encrypt & Decrypt Files or Directories** – Protect multiple files at once with ease.  

✅ **Secure Key Input** – Uses a hashed key for enhanced security.  

✅ **Progress Bar** – Shows real-time encryption/decryption progress.  

✅ **Handles Large Files** – Reads and writes data in chunks to avoid memory issues.  

✅ **Optional Auto-Delete** – Allows users to securely remove original files after encryption.  

## 🚀Step-by-Step Guide in Linux Terminal !

Step 1: Update & upgrade your system  

>sudo apt update  

>sudo apt upgrade  

Step 2: install Dependencies  

>sudo apt install python3-tqdm  

>sudo apt install python3-cryptodome  

Step 3: Clone the repository  

>git clone https://github.com/The-Real-Virus/ShadowCrypt.git  

Step 4: Go to the Tool Directory where u clone it  

>cd ShadowCrypt  

Step 5: After Completing the process now u can run script  

>python3 shadow.py  

## 💡 Tips!

🔹 Use a **strong passphrase** to ensure maximum security. The script hashes your input to generate a secure 32-byte key.  

🔹 Keep a backup of your **encryption key** – Without it, decryption is impossible!  

🔹 Make sure you have the **required dependencies** installed before running the script (see below).  

## 🤝 Follow the Prompts!

1️⃣ Run the script:  

2️⃣ Choose an action:

   ```

   [1] Encrypt a file

   [2] Decrypt a file

   [3] Encrypt a directory

   [4] Decrypt a directory

   ```

3️⃣ Enter the file or directory path.  

4️⃣ Enter a **secure passphrase** (used for encryption & decryption).  

5️⃣ The script will process the files with a **progress bar**.  

6️⃣ You’ll be asked if you want to **delete the original files** after encryption.  

## ⚙️ Troubleshooting

**Q: I forgot my encryption key. Can I recover my files?**  

❌ **No.** The encryption key is never stored. If lost, decryption is impossible.  

**Q: The script is not recognized. What should I do?**  

✅ Make sure Python is installed and run it using `python3 script.py` if necessary.  

**Q: How do I install the required dependencies?**  

✅ Run the following command:  

   ```sh

   install the requirements (step 2 above).

   ```
