Cloaker

New interoperable browser version at https://cloaker.mobi!

• Added CLI flags to:
  • encrypt/decrypt from stdin instead of file (-E, -D)
  • encrypt/decrypt to stdout instead of file (-O)
  • read password from a file (-f) instead of prompting for it
  • accept password directly with -p instead of prompting (not recommended: password will appear in shell history)
• Increased speed by... a lot. Not sure exactly, depends on platform.
• Added progress bar to GUI and progress output to CLI.
• Encryption/decryption of empty files now possible.
• Changed password hashing from scryptsalsa208sha256 to Argon2id.
• Windows GUI version builds with MSVC instead of MinGW.

Cloaker

Version 3.1: linking Qt dynamically on Linux for better portability, and using read_to_end()/read_exact() instead of read() for better file handling.

Cloaker

Version 3.0 improvements: added real argument parsing and output file parameter for CLI, increased minimum password length to 12.

Cloaker

Cloaker aims to provide the most straightforward file encryption possible. Just drop a file onto the window, set a password, and choose where to save it. To decrypt, drop the encrypted file on the window, enter the password, and choose the output location. (Tip: decrypt to a ramdisk for temporary use to avoid writing data to permanent storage.) No installation required! On Windows it's a single .exe, on Mac a standard .app bundle, and on Linux a single executable .run file.

Backward compatibility note: to decrypt a file made with version 1.0 or 1.1 of Cloaker (with Encrypt and Decrypt buttons), the filename must end with the ".cloaker" extension. Files encrypted with later versions are not subject to this restriction.

Version 2.1 Note: Fixes the file dialog boxes on Linux which were not showing the proper icons and crashing when Computer was selected.

Very simple cross-platform file encryption

Cloaker aims to be the most straightforward file encryption possible. Just drop a file onto the window and set a password. To decrypt, select "Decrypt", drop the encrypted file on the window, and enter the password.

Note 1: the Linux version in this release requires at least glibc version 2.25. I don't currently have a static-linking Qt installation on an older machine to build with, but I might be able to set one up if there's need.

Note 2: after a bug fix for the 1.1 release, I forgot to bundle the Qt libs properly for the Mac version and it wouldn't launch. This has been fixed.
