a_info.md

OpenSSL text file de/encrypter

This is an alternative way to decrypt text files that got encrypted by the Sublime Text Crypto Package. Just in case, Sublime Text is not available.

Setup

1. Download OpenSSL Windows Binaries here or here
2. Extract to a folder openssl
3. Place the file crypt.bat one level up

Usage

Make a backup of your file first!

1. Drop an encrypted file onto crypt.bat
2. Type in password into the cmd prompt
3. File opens in Notepad
4. Keep the cmd window open
5. Make changes and save the file, or just view the content, then close the file
6. Cmd prompt asks for the password two times
7. done
8. It's not the most convinient way, I know...

Don't drop

crypt.bat

@echo off

rem Changes program to the dir .bat is in
cd /d %~dp0

rem First part is the path to openssl.exe, then the encryptions stuff.
rem Then %1 is the item you dropped on the .bat file.
rem Then %~dp1%~n1 removes the .extension and places a *.tmp file into original dir.
rem The *.tmp file will be opened by Notepad
rem Edit the file save and close
rem Prompt asks for password twice
rem File gets encrypted and *.tmp removed

echo "Keep the window open!"
rem >nul 2>&1 suspresses any errors in case password is wrong
"openssl\openssl.exe"  enc -d -aes128 -base64 -in %1 -out "%~dp1%~n1.tmp" >nul 2>&1

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (
