StatiCrypt-370
Based on the crypto-js library, StatiCrypt uses AES-256 to encrypt your input with your passphrase and put it in a HTML file with a password prompt that can decrypted in-browser (client side).
You can then upload your static html file anywhere and it'll be password protected (see how it looks).
Obviously, pick a lengthy passphrase !
HOW IT WORKS
StatiCrypt generates a static, password protected page that can be decrypted in-browser: just send or upload the generated page to a place serving static content (github pages, for example) and you're done: the javascript will prompt users for password, decrypt the page and load your HTML.
It basically encrypts your page and puts everything with a user-friendly way to use a password in the new file.
AES-256 is state of the art but brute-force/dictionary attacks would be trivial to do at a really fast pace: use a long, unusual passphrase!
The concept is simple and should work ok but I am not a cryptographer, if you have extra sensitive banking data you might want to use something else :)
Feel free to contribute or report any thought to the GitHub project !
USAGE
Staticrypt is available through npm as a CLI, install with npm install -g staticrypt
and use as follow:
Usage: staticrypt-370 <filename> <passphrase> [options]
Options:
--help Show help [boolean]
--version Show version number [boolean]
-o, --output File name / path for generated encrypted file
[string] [default: null]
-f, --file-template Path to custom HTML template with password prompt.
[string] [default: "password_template.html"]
Example usages:
staticrypt test.html mypassword
-> creates atest_encrypted.html
filefind . -type f -name "*.html" -exec staticrypt {} mypassword \;
-> create encrypted files for all HTML files in your directory (recursively)
You can use a custom template for the password prompt - just copy cli/password_template.html
and modify it to suit your presentation style and point to your template file with the -f
flag. Be careful to not break the encrypting javascript part, the variables replaced by staticrypt are between curly brackets: {instructions}
.
ADBLOCKERS: If you do not embed crypto-js and serve it from a CDN, some adblockers see the crypto-js.min.js
, think that's a crypto miner and block it.
