BoomCrypt

Not to be confused with bcrypt, a hashing function.

BoomCrypt is no longer available to download due to an security issue.

A decryptor in Python is available to decrypt any BoomCrypt files you might have (requires PyCryptodome).

Please see this GitHub Gist for more details: https://git.io/BoomCrypt

Do you have a really important file that you need to keep secret?
Worried that your competitors might steal your precious program that you have been working on?
Or you just want to encrypt a file to send it via rednet/pastebin.

If so, BoomCrypt is for you!

BoomCrypt is a simple-to-use file encryptor. Just give it a file and a password and it will do that hard work for you!

Get it now!

A new version of BoomCrypt has been released!

(version 1.1b2)

Changes:

Spoiler

Fixed file integrity checksum not working at all

BoomCrypt now cleans up after itself (unloading API after using them)

Added password requirements (you cannot use blank passwords anymore)

You can now define the PBKDF2 iterations (speed vs. security tradeoff)

The part about yielding means you need t have it sleep() once in a while

Well, I just found out that the AES implementation I'm using is at fault here.... it doesn't yield while encrypting.
I will try to fix it though.
