scrypt

File encryption utility using scrypt for key derivation

A simple password-based encryption utility which demonstrates the scrypt key derivation function. On modern hardware and with default parameters, the cost of cracking the password on a file encrypted by scrypt enc is approximately 100 billion times more than the cost of cracking the same password on a file encrypted by openssl enc; this means that a five-character password using scrypt is stronger than a ten-character password using openssl.

Install the latest version of scrypt in Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Kali, Raspbian and macOS from terminal. To install the scrypt just copy the above command for your OS and run into terminal. After you run the command it will grab the latest version of scrypt from the respository and install it in your computer/server.
