HideMyFolder

Little console utility for hiding and encrypting directories with a password.

Installation

npm i -g @mchakoss/hidemyfolder

Usage

Hiding a folder

Given a folder named foo we want to hide and encrypt, containing two files bar.txt and baz.md.

hmf hide -p thisisasupersecret -n foo_folder ./foo

Once run, you'll see a little loader and the following message will appear if everything went right :

✔ Folder hidden with name: foo_folder

The files that have been hidden are removed from the filesystem. The utility will create two new files, the first one hmf_foo_folder.hmf which is the metadata file, and a .hmf_<hexidentifier> which contains the encrypted data of your files.

Unhiding a folder

hmf unhide -p thisisasupersecret foo_folder

Once run, a loader will appear and it will recreate the files in the original folder. Please note that the command needs to be run where the hmf files are located.

If everything went right :

✔ Folder successfully restored.

The two hmf files are destroyed and you got back your hidden files.
