I am working on making a file encrypter that can convert files to and from .crush format. I will release a testing version in the next few days, maybe even tonight. By the way, if you test it, don't use it on important files. It might be unstable, and the format may change over development.

I just changed it, I had actually typed .tomb.

What kind of file is it for, and what are your writing the encryption in?

What type of file is it?

I think it can be used for any file, as it changes the contents, and I'm writing it in Java.

veggieman001 · 2012-05-08 20:27:11

Is it compression, or what?

not compression, just encrypts it. Not top level security, just if you want to hide files.

You should put a warning that says something like "Please note that this is not top level encryption and may draw attention to your encrypted files. Please don't use this for extremely important information". 'Cause if you don't have something like that you're putting yourself at risk of being sued tongue

Good idea.

What are you writing it is? Visual Basic?

He said that he was writing it in Java.

Good idea.

Thank you, I'm pretty sure it's no fun to be sued...
edit: I think this will be a cool project!

Erm what's the point of having another file format? Is going to be of any good use?

+1 good for learning though

AND samtwheels...

WHY YOU NO OPENSOURCE ??? make a github account
and share it big_smile you might get ur format famoz if its unique ;-D

Y U ASSUME IT NO OPENSOURCE!! tongue don't worry. It will be open. but i use sourceforge.

Dinoclor · 2012-05-11 19:56:11

Sounds cool.
What encryption method are you using?

uh...
replace a with !

very simple really, but it will eventually support characters often used in major file formats

but you didn't use it in 2009. you just started in 2012

anyways it's not your "thing"

maxskywalker · 2012-05-11 20:41:07

Well then, now do you want to change the title to 'TOMB: A new file format'? But anyway, yeah, it sounds like a cool project! Quite good for basic encryption stuff, such as hiding stats in a game, perhaps (accompanied by other validation techniques, of course).

I was thinking about the name tomb, so I accidentally typed it in the OP. I fixed it now.
