v0.3.0 suspicious
4.0
Medium Risk

Encrypt and decrypt files and directories with AES-256-GCM

🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package shows minimal risks in terms of network calls, shell execution, obfuscation, and credential harvesting. However, the metadata risk score is elevated due to incomplete author details and a potentially new or inactive account.

  • Incomplete author details
  • Potentially new or inactive account
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls detected, which is normal unless the package requires external services.
  • Shell: No shell execution patterns detected, indicating no immediate signs of malicious activity.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk.
  • Metadata: The author's details are incomplete and the account seems new or inactive, which raises some concern but does not definitively indicate malice.

💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with ash-encrypt
Create a fully-functional command-line utility named 'SecureFolder' using the Python package 'ash-encrypt'. This tool will allow users to encrypt and decrypt entire folders on their local machine, ensuring their sensitive data remains secure. The utility should provide the following functionalities:

1. **Encrypt Folder**: Users should be able to specify a folder path to encrypt. Upon encryption, all files within the specified folder will be encrypted using AES-256-GCM. The encrypted files should retain their original directory structure but have unique filenames to prevent decryption without the correct key.

2. **Decrypt Folder**: Users should also be able to decrypt a previously encrypted folder. After decryption, the original file names and structures should be restored.

3. **Key Management**: Implement a simple key management system where users can generate new keys, save them securely, and load them when needed. Keys should be stored in an encrypted format and protected with a passphrase.

4. **Progress Indicators**: During the encryption and decryption processes, display progress indicators to inform the user of the current status.

5. **Error Handling**: Ensure robust error handling to manage cases such as incorrect passphrases, missing files, or other potential issues gracefully.

The 'ash-encrypt' package will be utilized primarily for the encryption and decryption operations. It provides the necessary functions to handle AES-256-GCM encryption and decryption of files and directories. Your task is to integrate these functionalities into a cohesive and user-friendly command-line interface.
