• Founder: Abdullah Khawer (LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abdullah-khawer/)

Introduction

A Python based encoding and decoding tool for texts and secrets with executables provided for Windows and Linux.

Prerequisites

• Python 2.7+ Installed
• Pass code used by AK Encoder Decoder is stored in an environment variables. It should be a string. String can have alphabets numbers and special characters. Recommended length is 13 characters to avoid code cracking via brute force attack.
• To set pass code in Linux via Terminal: Syntax:

  $ export AK_ENCODER_DECODER_PASS_KEY="<integer_string>"

  Example:

  $ export AK_ENCODER_DECODER_PASS_KEY="ABC@123"

  To set pass code in Windows via CMD: Syntax:

  > set AK_ENCODER_DECODER_PASS_KEY="<integer_string>"

  Example:

  > set AK_ENCODER_DECODER_PASS_KEY=ABC@123

Warning: Share the pass code only with the receiver of the encoded messages so that person can decode them.

Usage Notes

• To encode a string in Linux via Terminal: Syntax:

  $ ./akencoderdecoder 0 <string>

  Example:

  $ ./akencoderdecoder 0 "Hello World!"

• To encode a string in Windows via CMD: Syntax:

  > akencoderdecoder.exe 0 <string>

  Example:

  > akencoderdecoder.exe 0 "Hello World!"

• To decode a string in Linux via Terminal: Syntax:

  $ ./akencoderdecoder 1 <encoded-string>

  Example:

  $ ./akencoderdecoder 1 "12O7O8O2"

• To decode a string in Windows via CMD: Syntax:

  > akencoderdecoder.exe 1 <encoded_string>

  Example:

  > akencoderdecoder.exe "12O7O8O2"
