Re: What is a simple way to Encrypt/Secure a Password File?
I use bcrypt all the time which is easily available in the repositories
Code:
sudo apt-get install bcrypt
Using a strong key (strong password ie: letters, numbers special characters, and no dictionary words) the blowfish algorithm used to encrypt files with has still to this day not been broken.
to encrypt a file using is as simple as
It asks you to enter a password (twice for verification) and its encrypted. It adds the extension .bfe at the end of the file so you know its encrypted.
to unencrypt just do the same thing
and it asks you for the password.
