nodes-crypter

A Node.js package to encrypt and run a C++ program using XOR encryption.

Features

• Encrypt any C++ executable file.
• Decrypt and run the encrypted executable file.

Installation

Install the package globally or locally using npm:

npm install -g nodes-crypter

or

npm install nodes-crypter

Usage

Encrypting and Running a C++ Program

To encrypt a C++ executable file and generate a self-contained run.js script, use the following command:

If you installed globally (-g flag) you do not need to use 'npx' in front.

npx nodes-crypter <input_file> <key>

or if you installed globally (-g flag) you do not need to use 'npx' in front.

nodes-crypter <input_file> <key>

Example:

nodes-crypter ./hello mysecretkey

This command encrypts the hello executable and outputs a run.js file containing the encrypted data and the logic to decrypt and execute it using the key mysecretkey.

Running the Generated Script

To decrypt and run the executable, use the following command:

node run.js

Creating a Test C++ Program

To create a simple "Hello, World!" C++ program, follow these steps:

1. Create a C++ source file hello.cpp:

   #include <iostream>
   
   int main() {
       std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
       return 0;
   }

2. Compile the C++ program:

   g++ hello.cpp -o hello

3. Encrypt the executable and generate the run.js file:

   nodes-crypter ./hello mysecretkey

4. Run the generated script to decrypt and execute the program:

   node run.js
