Fenrus is a command-line utility that you can use to encrypt and decrypt files on your computer. It uses the AES-256 cipher to secure your data and can generate random keys for added security. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Fenrus on the latest version of EndeavourOS.
Before you can install Fenrus, you need to make sure that your system has all the necessary dependencies installed.
You can do that by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S openssl readline
To download the latest version of Fenrus, go to the following Github repository:
https://github.com/revenz/fenrus
You can download the code by using git:
git clone https://github.com/revenz/fenrus.git
Once you have downloaded the code, navigate into the Fenrus directory:
cd fenrus
To compile and install Fenrus, run the following command:
make
sudo make install
This will compile the code and install the Fenrus executable into the /usr/local/bin directory.
To verify that Fenrus is installed correctly, you can try encrypting and decrypting a file using Fenrus.
First, create a file to encrypt:
echo "Hello, World!" > test.txt
Next, encrypt the file using Fenrus:
fenrus -e test.txt test.enc
This will create a new file called test.enc that contains the encrypted data.
Finally, decrypt the file using Fenrus:
fenrus -d test.enc test-decrypted.txt
This will create a new file called test-decrypted.txt that contains the decrypted data.
If you can successfully encrypt and decrypt files using Fenrus, then you have installed it correctly.
This tutorial has shown you how to install Fenrus on the latest version of EndeavourOS. Now that Fenrus is installed, you can use it to encrypt and decrypt files on your computer. Remember to always use strong passwords and keep your keys secure to ensure the safety of your data.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
