I still don't get the point of the MD5? What do you want to do with it? Check for corruption. And you can always make a checkbox to let the user choose if he wants to shred or not.
MD5 was another idea but dropped it. Yeh maybe i will add the option to shred, also add multiple file encryption..
Next release will have ability to encrypt a folders contents also multiple file drag/drop. But not encrypt folder only contents. Also fix hidden file and 0 byte files. Also shred files with selection of passes (using Gutmann)
Hello Alphawaves, is there a way to implement the option that a password check is not possible for the encrypted file? I mean, that this tool or other tools can't check the file immediately for a wrong password before and after decrypting it. The result could be a useless file. A potential attacker who would try to decrypt the file has to check manualy for a wrong password because no application can do this efficient. Wouldn't that make bruteforce more difficult because the attacker can only check the file manualy by executing etc. ? (file could be encrypted twice and so on) Would be nice if you can do that and thanks for your previous work.
Even if I type the right password? What would happen then? Would be nice to know whats wrong with my idea.
So you want to encrypt a file without the option to recover it The whole point of adding a password is to recover the encrypted file using that password..
Great software!! But I have noticed that when tring to decrypt, after completing textbox1 and if I press tab on the keyboard to move to textbox2 it doesn't clear out the pre written text e.g "Confirm password" then if I start typing it doesn't use "*" to hide characters typed instead they are visible, but after I click with the mouse in the textbox2 it use's "*" to hide characters typed. Although its not a huge problem, I hope you can fix it.
Any plans to have the program recognize being opened with a file extension call? Not sure if I explained the correctly. When I create a file, it deletes the old one and make a "EXE_AESE File (.exe_aese)" and if I click it, open with shows itself. Could it be made so when clicking on said encrypted file will open your program? if not, what about if I set it manually and click the encrypted file it opens your program with the file already available for decrypting?
Sorry Humphrey i dropped support for this over a year ago.. Ive no plans to rework it atm, way to busy with other new projects.. I thought I closed this thread..
