I made an app that lets you split a file into horcruxes

How it works

Horcrux has two main functions: creating horcruxes and combining horcruxes

Creating horcruxes

If I have a file called diary.txt in my current directory I can select that and split it into horcruxes, creating files like so:

diary_1_of_5.horcrux
diary_2_of_5.horcrux
...

Now you just need to disperse the horcruxes around the house on various USBs or online locations and hope you can recall where they all are! Or send them to a friend across multiple channels so there's no risk of interception.

Combining horcruxes

On the receiving end, you can then recombine the hocruxes back together to obtain the original file.

Installation

via binary release

Who this is for:

  • People who need to encrypt a big sensitive file like a diary and don't expect to remember any passwords years from now (but who paradoxically will be capable of remembering where they've hidden their horcruxes)
  • People who want to transmit files across multiple channels to substantially reduce the ability for an attacker to intercept
  • People named Tom Riddle

FAQ

Q) This isn't really in line with how horcruxes work in the harry potter universe!

A) It's pretty close! You can't allow any one horcrux to be used to resurrect the original file (and why would you that would be useless) but you can allow two horcruxes to do it (so only off by one). Checkmate HP fans.

Q) How does this work?

A) This uses the (Shamir Secret Sharing Scheme)[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_Secret_Sharing ] to break an encryption key into parts that can be recombined to create the original key, but only requiring a certain threshold to do so. I've adapted Hashicorp's implementation from their (vault repo)[ https://github.com/hashicorp/vault ]

Alternatives (for command-line)

时间的朋友2018

2018年,有点不一样。 从年头到现在,各种信息扑面而来。不管你怎么研判这些信息的深意,有一点是有共识的:2018,我们站在了一个时代的门槛上,陌生,崭新。就像一个少年长大了,有些艰困必须承当,有些道路只能独行。 用经济学家的话说,2018年,我们面对的是一次巨大的“不确定性”。 所谓“不确定性”,就是无法用过去的经验判断未来事情发生的概率。所以,此时轻言乐观、悲观,都没有什么意......一起来看看 《时间的朋友2018》 这本书的介绍吧!
