Mausoleum consists of a command line application and GUI application wrapped around Tomb (the Crypto Undertaker). Both applications were created with the intention of making it easier for users to interact with Tomb.

Installation

As Mausoleum is purely a wrapper for Tomb, it requires Tomb to be installed locally. For Tomb installation details, please see: https://www.dyne.org/software/tomb/. The Mausoleum GUI application requires PyQt5 to be installed locally. For PyQt5 installation instructions, please visit: https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download5.

With your environment set, the following command may be used to install Mausoleum:

$  pip install mausoleum

If you would rather install from source, run:

$  git clone https://github.com/mandeep/Mausoleum.git
$  cd Mausoleum
$  python setup.py install

GUI Application

To run the GUI application, simply run the following command in a terminal:

$  mausoleum-gui

The command will open a new window that includes tabs that group Tomb functions into separate tabs. The ‘Create’ tab receives information needed to create a new tomb, the ‘Open’ tab allows the user to fill in information regarding the opening of an existing tomb, the ‘Close’ tab lets the user close opened tombs, the ‘Resize’ tab gives the user the ability to resize an existing tomb, the ‘List’ tab displays all active tombs, and the ‘Config’ tab allows the user to make configuration changes to the GUI.

Command Line Application

With Mausoleum installed, the command line application can be invoked with the following commands and arguments:

usage: mausoleum [options] command [arguments]

commands:
    construct               Dig, forge, and lock a new tomb
    enter                   Open an existing tomb
    alter                   Resize an existing tomb
    mold                    Create a QR code from an existing tomb key
    etch                    Embed an existing tomb key inside a JPEG image
    resurrect               Print to stdout the tomb key embedded within the JPEG image

positional arguments:
    name                    Name of the new or existing tomb
    size                    The size in megabytes for the new tomb
    key                     Name of the new or existing tomb key file

optional arguments:
    --open                  Option that opens a tomb after creation or resizing

If a key is not supplied as a command line argument, the application will search for a key with the name of the tomb with .key as the suffix.

Example of creating a new tomb and opening it thereafter:

$  mausoleum construct --open secret.tomb 100
Password:
Repeat for confirmation:

Example of opening an existing tomb:

$  mausoleum enter secret.tomb
Password:

Example of resizing an existing tomb:

$  mausoleum alter secret.tomb 200
Password:

Wrapper

Mausoleum may be imported as a module as seen in the following example:

import mausoleum.wrapper


def batch_create_tombs(names, size, password):
    """Take a list of names and batch create tombs."""

    for name in names:
        key = '{}.key' .format(name)
        mausoleum.wrapper.construct_tomb(name, size, key, password)
