A triplesec wrapper (bash) for encrypting/decrypting files.

___________      .__       .__           _________
\__    ___/______|__|_____ |  |   ____  /   _____/ ____   ____
  |    |  \_  __ \  \____ \|  | _/ __ \ \_____  \_/ __ \_/ ___\
  |    |   |  | \/  |  |_> >  |_\  ___/ /        \  ___/\  \___
  |____|   |__|  |__|   __/|____/\___  >_______  /\___  >\___  >
                    |__|             \/        \/     \/     \/

You need to have the triplesec python library installed, to install it with pip:

$ pip install triplesec

You can get the script directly here.

The script doesn't need any superuser privileges, just access to the files.

To encrypt a file:

$ triplew enc p4ssw0rd confidential.md

To decrypt a file:

$ triplew dec p4ssw0rd confidential.md.triple

NOTE: The script automatically deletes your bash history to prevent the password to be found.

I don't know if this is a safe method of retrieving the password, so any help is appreciated.
