Setup
First you need to setup pm for yourself
Procedure:
- Run
pm init
to initialize pm for your directory
There should be no output
- Run
pm config -ps <password>
to set your password for PM. It will ask you for your OLD PASSWORD- Now if you haven't configured your passowrd before, enter
fetcher
in the OLD PASSWORD INPUT which is the default password
- Now if you haven't configured your passowrd before, enter
NOTE: THIS STORES YOUR PASSWORD FOR PM AND DOES NOT INDICATE A PASSWORD FOR PASSWORD MANAGEMENT
- Now you are set up to use PM
Encryption:
pm encrypt {directory} {note(optional)}
For example:
pm encrypt C://Users//doge//Desktop//Office//files 'Welcome982' -n google
This makes a data_encr.dat file which consists the message 'Hello World' in the files folder located in Office folder present in your Desktop.
For using current directory, just provide current
instead of the directory.
In the above example, 'google' is an ID that gives the encrypted data and identity.
You can even use --note
instead of -n
to add an ID
Giving an ID is completely optional, but highly recommended for every user. This helps you decrypt your messages easily
Decryption
There are two methods of decrypting/obtaining your passwords
SPECIFIC DECRYPTION
pm decrypt {directory} -n {note}
For example:
pm decrypt C://Users//arghy//Desktop//Office//files -n google
This gives you the stored password identified by google
NOTE/ID.
For using current directory, just provide current
instead of the directory.
MASS DECRYPTION
pm decryptf {directory}
This gives you all of your stored passwords
pm decryptf C://Users//arghy//Desktop//Office//files
NOTE: EVERY DECRYPTION METHOD NEEDS YOUT PM PASSWORD, HENCE IF YOU HAVE NOT SETUP YOUR PM, DECRYPTION WONT WORK
CLEAR
pm clear {directory}
cleans the data from data file
