WingCrypt is a minimalist WPF app that that allows Windows and Linux users to encrypt and decrypt files and folders with a password.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• You use a machine supported by .NET 6
• You have .NET 6 installed
• You have downloaded the file "build.zip" from the latest release

OR

• You use a Windows machine supported by .NET 6
• You do not need to have .NET 6 installed
• You have downloaded the file "standalone.zip" from the latest release

OR

• You use a Linux machine supported by .NET 6
• You do not need to have .NET 6 installed
• You have downloaded the file "linux_standalone.zip" from the latest release

Due to low demand, standalone builds for Mac OSX are not provided. If you'd like a standalone build for Mac OSX, contact me.

Usage

Windows:

1. Download either "build.zip" or "standalone.zip" from the latest release, depending on your prerequisites.
2. Unzip the file.
3. Find the file "WingCryptWPF.exe" within the unzipped folder and run it.
4. Select files or folders to encrypt/decrypt.
5. Enter a password.
6. Click either the Encrypt or the Decrypt button.

Linux:

1. Download "linux_standalone.zip" from the latest release.
2. Unzip the file.
3. Depending on your architecture, open either the x64 or the arm folder.
4. Copy the three files within into your "/usr/bin" directory.
5. Use the command "wingcrypt --help" and proceed from there.

Example: "wingcrypt -p text.txt" will encrypt the file text.txt

Example: "wingcrypt -p text.wenc" will decrypt the file text.wenc
