All of these scripts have only been tested on OSX and Linux and are not recommended for use with Windows

Currency

Converts currency based on realtime exchange rates

If you want to bypass to guided input you can pass in 3 arguments and it will run from there ex.currency [baseCurrency] [exchangeToCurrency] [amountBeingExchanged] so a valid use case would be currency USD EUR 12.35

Encryption & Decryption

A wrapper for openssl that allows for quickly encrypting and decrypting files

crypt -e [original file] [encrypted file] # encrypts files
crypt -d [encrypted file] [output file] # decrypts files

Encryption Details

• Uses AES 256 level encryption
• Key is salted before creation
• Password is never in plain text, and OpenSSL generates key based on password
• Data is encrypted in Base64, so it can be used as plain text in an email. (Not usually necessary if attached as a file)

Tested With .pdf, .txt, .docx, .doc, .png, .jpeg

CAUTION Make sure to use different filenames, otherwise your file will be overwritten!
