Security has been evolving with information technology, peoples find new ways to protect your data and privacy because we need to feel secure.
Sometimes you want to go deep into security and you start to put passwords everywhere. This is why WarShield was created.
What is WarShield?
WarShield is a CLI tool made to cipher and decipher your files with a password using AES-256. It was made to ensure a full files protection inside a USB flash drive or an external hard drive. If those are lost, malicious peoples can take over your files and their data.
This is when WarShield comes with his fast and reliable solution.
How to use WarShield?
WarShield can be installed with NPM:
npm install -g warshield
After the (very) short installation, you can use the warshield
CLI.
warshield (encrypt|decrypt) (file)
The first argument is encrypt
or decrypt
, describing the wanted action. Don't worry if you try to decrypt something that isn't encrypted, it will not do it.
Next is the file (or folder) you want to encrypt/decrypt. If it's a folder, every files in it will be processed recursively.
Launching that command will make the program asking you the password you want or need to use to encrypt or decrypt the file.
When you launch the encryption/decryption, WarShield will scan all the wanted files first. If the selected file a folder, it can take a while depending on the files weight.
