Mr Andrewson Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Isn't there an app where i can just a password on one file? Like, so when i click the file it asks me for a password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshuaH Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Locknote is what I was going to suggest, works great. Also good because you can move it from computer to computer, and theres no need to install extra software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a5an0 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 if you're editing in vim, just push [esc] and then type ggVGg? (yes you do type the ?) ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 if you're editing in vim, just push [esc] and then type ggVGg? (yes you do type the ?) ;-) Heh, something tells me he might want something slightly stronger than ROT13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Kitchen Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Mubix turned me onto locknote and between that and truecrypt I'm feeling pretty secure with my little text files of doom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wetelectric Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 From on of my mailing lists: CRYPT AN ASCII FILE An ascii file can be easily encrypted and decrypted. To encrypt simply pipe the STDOUT of the file to "crypt" and redirect it to a new file name. Enter a passowrd when prompted with "Enter key". $ cat foo | crypt > foo.e Enter key: To unencrypt simply pipe the STDOUT of the encrypted file to "crpyt" and redirect it to a new file name. Enter a passowrd when prompted with "Enter key". $ cat foo.e | crypt > foo.new Enter key: ps:[me=wetelectric]throws a http://www.last.fm/group/Hak.5 at Mr Andrewson[/me] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
