CipherLi

CipherLi is a command-line tool for file encryption and decryption using symmetric encryption.

One shot Installation

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cipheritall/cipherli/refs/heads/main/get.sh | sh

Cloned Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the source code

2. Run the installation script:

   sudo ./install.sh

   This will:

   • Create the necessary directories
   • Set up a Python virtual environment
   • Install required dependencies
   • Create a system-wide cipherLi command

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher
• python3-venv package
• Linux-based operating system

Usage

Basic Commands

Encrypt a file:

cipherLi encrypt "your-password" input-file.txt encrypted-file.enc

Decrypt a file:

cipherLi decrypt "your-password" encrypted-file.enc decrypted-file.txt

Encrypt a folder:

cipherLi encrypt "your-password" input-folder/ encrypted-folder/ -r

Decrypt a folder:

cipherLi decrypt "your-password" encrypted-folder/ decrypted-folder/ -r

The -r flag enables recursive processing of subfolders.

Security Notes

• Always use strong passwords
• Keep your encrypted files and passwords separate
• Backup your files before encryption

Technical Details

• Uses the cryptography library for secure encryption
• Implements AES-256 encryption in GCM mode
• Includes secure key derivation (PBKDF2)
