AES Crypt [Solved]

I know, you already have 1001 items on the "to do" list :)

In fact, just cli version is enough (at least on my behalf).

I just don't know how I managed to install that on 19.4 (they're not .deb or .rpm files ... ).( Though I'd managed to install and use it (that gui link) there, the gui never launched, however it took place in Menu ).

In fact, just cli version is enough (at least on my behalf).

FWIW, on CLI MX comes with gpg.

To symmetric encrypt a file with password :

Code: Select all

gpg -o file.asc -c file

to decrypt the encrypted file.asc

Code: Select all

gpg -o file -d file.asc

to clear cached passphrase:

Code: Select all

gpgconf --reload gpg-agent

or alternatively:

Code: Select all

pkill -SIGHUP gpg-agent

Another way to clear cached passphrases is to use either of the below commands:

Code: Select all

echo RELOADAGENT | gpg-connect-agent

Code: Select all

gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye

I'll tinker with it.

It does seem they have instructions for the AES Crypt - GUI (Linux 64-bit) executable they provide on the downloads page

Meanwhile I did the cli version, so simple with the source code: Just a terminal in (the extracted) src folder: make ; sudo make install

2 binary files are created in /usr/bin/

The usage of this software is really so easy, one doesn't need to remember lots of commands or options. Just aescrypt -e to encrypt, -d to decrypt.. :)
