Good clear instructions. Stayed on topic with no extra frills to complicate things. 🙂

Thanks! Now i will encrypt school files

[@mvpxspeed8137]

*@ClarityCoders* How do we keep an *string* as the *key* instead of making the *key* as an *int* ?

[@mvpxspeed8137]

*Great tutorial!*

[@ClarityCoders]

Glad you think so!

[@sndraindrop]

This does not work with .txt files, still opened with notepad

[@suyashmisra7406]

@ClarityCoders I tried encrypting an ipynb file and it worked. however, when i tried to decrypt it, i got this error
TypeError: string argument without an encoding
how do i fix or circumvent this? thanks in advance!
Edit: bytearray takes an optional second arguement ,ie encoding scheme. I've tried utf-8 , ASCII and ANSI but am unable to decrypt the original notebook.

[@ClarityCoders]

interesting I'll have to give it a try.

[@suyashmisra7406]

@@ClarityCoders any solution?

[@themariomine3420]

how do i fix "error: filename is not defined."

[@themariomine3420]

@Jack William ok bot

[@dfgfdgdfgfdg2902]

it means you didn't define the variable filename

[@goswamivibhor]

Give filename with extension
Ex an image may have , .jpg , .png etc format.
Give full name
image.png , like this.

I have public key how to get private key

[@mr.pumpkinpie4366]

Thanks!

[@anshulrawat3458]

bro is there any way to overwrite the file . rather creating new file>?

[@doomguy606]

Remove the "CC-" from line 11. Just use file = open(filename, "wb")

[@michaelolu4752]

Is this breakeable in anyway?...maybe with brute Force iterating till it gets the right key?

[@ClarityCoders]

Yup brute force would work if you know characters. This would be just something to use to keep honest people honest ;)

[@anuragsrigyan677]

You can create you own logic of encryption. He has used XOR method. Don't forget to create the logic for decryption too :)

[@goswamivibhor]

@@anuragsrigyan677 Except XOR what can be used sir?

[@srayansankarchatterjee4579]

can this be used for encrypting ZIP files as well?

[@Joe-zg9eq]

Yes

[@gauravrewaliya3269]

can we decript
any how a file encripted by ransomware
please create a video bro..

[@ericphantri96734]

Dont use software but use analog enscrypting separate from the mschine and it include day and gps then can be spy cstcher for network copy

So simple, yet so cool!

[@ClarityCoders]
