A command line version of Kryptor is now available (KryptorCLI), which improves Linux and macOS support as Mono/Wine are no longer required. The CLI version is completely portable on Windows, Linux, and macOS. This release also brings some minor changes to the GUI version as well.
Note: It's currently not possible to check for updates from within the CLI version. I had to disable the --update command at the last minute due to an exception that occurs in the published version probably due to the single file publishing. I will have this fixed for the next release.
Running Kryptor
Instructions for running Kryptor can be found here.
CLI Requirements
There are no requirements for Windows, Linux, or macOS. Remember to mark the 'kryptor' file as executable (chmod +x kryptor) on Linux and macOS before running it from the terminal.
GUI Requirements
Windows: .NET Framework 4.8
Linux & macOS: Mono
Changelog:
KryptorCLI
- Now using the CommandLineUtils library by Nate McMaster.
- Added a custom --help text.
- Rearranged some code.
- Converted some global variables to local variables.
- Updated the GitHub links because of the username change.
- Added random passphrase generation if no password or keyfile is specified.
- Removed the first run benchmark and automatic updates.
- Added a --benchmark option.
- Fixed opening links on Windows.
File Handling
- Specified a larger buffer size (128 KiB) in the FileStreams. This should improve read/write speeds with large files. The main limitation at the moment is due to the anonymous rename feature - aka reading the original file name from the end of the decrypted file. This significantly slows down decryption of large (GB) files. This is due to be fixed in a future release, but it may be a breaking change.
- Specified FileOptions.SequentialScan or FileOptions.RandomAccess in the FileStreams to help with file caching.
Argon2
- Changed the default Argon2 iterations from 3 to 4.
- Changed the recommended memory size from less than (<) to less than or equal to (<=) in the Argon2 benchmark.
Building Kryptor
If you'd like to build Kryptor from source, then please download the master branch. Instructions can be found in the README.
Verifying Signatures
The GPG signatures are attached (the '.sig' files) and so is my public key (the 'kryptor_gpg_key.asc' file). Instructions for verifying the signatures can be found here.
