filecryptor: AES script to encrypt/decrypt files


Recommended Posts

Description
filecryptor is a shell script that reads all files in a source directory and copies them encrypted through AES-256 in a target directory. The passphrase must be added through a file named "filecryptor.key" that has to be located in the root of the source directory. Your password is salted with the file's timestamp and hashed with PBKDF2 10.000x times. This is the default value of filecryptor. You can change it, but you need to remind the exact value or you are not able to decrypt the files anymore!

 

Feel free to upload your files to a cloud after encryption has been finished!

 

You can execute this script by using the CA User Scripts plugin.

 

Features

- encrypt files of a source to a target directory with AES-256 by your password

- encryption is hardened by iterating your password through PBKDF2 10.000x times which slows down bruteforce attacks

- encryption is hardened by salting your password through the file's timestamp leaving no chance to rainbow table attacks

- decrypt files of a source folder

- resume if last script execution has been interrupted (delete filecryptor.last in target dir to fully restart)

- skip_files_last_seconds allows skipping files that are (partially) written at the moment

- dry_run allows testing filecryptor

- already existing files with a newer or same timestamp will be skipped

# filecryptor
# Version: 0.3
# Author: Marc Gutt
# 
# Description:
# Copies and encrypts files from a source to a target dir. This scripts uses 
# AES encryption with the file modification time as salt. By that re-encrypting 
# produces identical files making it easier for rsync/rclone to skip already 
# transfered files.
# 
# How-to encrypt:
# 1.) Add a text file with the name "filecryptor.key" and your encryption password as content in the source directory.
# 2.) Set your source and target directories
# 3.) Execute this script
# 
# How-to decrypt:
# 1.) Backup your encrypted files
# 2.) Add a text file with the name "filecryptor.key" and your encryption password as content in the source directory.
# 3.) Set ONLY the source directory (encrypted files will be overwritten through their decrypted version!)
# 4.) Execute this script
# 
# Notes:
# - A public salt should be safe (https://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/59180/41422 & https://stackoverflow.com/a/3850335/318765)
# - After encrypting you could use rsync with "--remove-source-files" to move the encrypted files to a final target directory
# - rclone has a "move" mode to move the encrypted files to a cloud
# - You can set the PBKDF2 iterations through "iter". A higher number of iterations adds more security but is slower 
#   (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2#Purpose_and_operation & https://security.stackexchange.com/a/3993/2296)
# 
# Changelog:
# 0.3
# - set your own PBKDF2 iteration count through "iter" setting
# - salt is padded with zeros to avoid "hex string is too short, padding with zero bytes to length" message on openssl output
# - decryption now supports resume
# - empty openssl files are deleted on decryption fails
# - encryption of already existing files in the target will be skipped as long the source files aren't newer
# 0.2
# - skip dirs on resume (not only files)
# - bug fix: endless looping empty dirs
# 0.1
# - first release
# 
# Todo:
# - optional filename encryption
# - use a different filename if decrypted filename "${file}.filecryptor" already exists
# - add "overwrite=true" setting and check file existence before executing openssl
