# mask - Hide your sensitive data from STDOUT
With `mask` you can hide sensitive information from being printed to `stdout`. I've created `mask` because I do quite a lot of public conference speaking and found it cumbersome to memorize all CLIs that may leak sensitive information during a live demo.
You can pipe (`|`) any content to `mask`. It will replace all occurrence (case-insensitive).
## Installation
Install `mask` using the latest [release for your platform](https://github.com/ThorstenHans/mask/releases). Once downloaded and extracted, ensure the location is in your `PATH`.
### Configuration
#### Manage masks
You can add any amount of strings that should be masked before they'll be written to `stdout`.
```bash
# Add new masks
mask add bar
# Remove existing masks
mask remove bar
# See all masks
mask list
```
#### Customize the mask-char
By default, `mask` will mask every char of an occurrence with an `*`. This ensures potential table layouts from the original output will not be harmed. You can manage the "mask-char" with the following commands:
```bash
# show the current mask-char
mask char get
# use different mask-char
mask char set "#"
```
## Mask output
```bash
# assumes 'bar' is in your list of masks
echo "foo bar baz" | mask
foo *** baz
# mask output from more complex commands
az account list -o table | mask
```
## Help
For further information consult the help `mask --help` or `mask [command] --help`. If you encounter any problems, feel free to file an issue.
