[Python] Text Encryption Program

[Rhynorater]

Hey Guys,

This is my first post so I decided to give it all I have got. I'm going to make an attempt to not just take from this forum but give to it too. So, I have decided to give you guys a program that I coded that is a Text encryption and Decryption program. This isn't much I know but I'm trying to increase in my programing skill while giving to the community here.

Here is the Adf.ly (Just one not a chain)-http://www.mediafire.com/?2l3c63s3kpulvc3
And for you people that don't trust me (I don't blame you), here is a virus scan- http://tinyurl.com/3w86kzm
Enjoy!

Nice job, haven't tested but some of my first programs we're in this style. No virus or anything, read through it. Keep it up.

why the hell do you scan a Python script for viruses? lol

[Satori]

could you maybe post the source here or somewhere else for us who wants to take a look at it but are too lazy to download it?

No time to try it, but what type of encryption do u use?  what key size? etc

scripting virus isn't a new concept, try saving one of these to PC:

AVG: Danger! Warning! Do not run! I'll just quarantine this for you.

Of course a python virus on windows is impractical to say the least, but if you accidentally ran something of this sorts:

Wouldn't be too much of problem, but all your python code would have a very bad day.

Granted, his scan probably didn't do anything.

It's almost 400 lines, a code pasting site maybe better.. But certainly not here. Downloading this is beyond easy.

from code:

Code: [Select]

    if cryptM == "MD5" or cryptM == "md5":
        MD5()
    elif cryptM == "B64" or cryptM == "base64" or cryptM == "Base64" or cryptM == "b64":
        base64()
    elif cryptM == "B32" or cryptM == "base32" or cryptM == "Base32" or cryptM == "b32":
        base32()
    elif cryptM == "B16" or cryptM == "base16" or cryptM == "Base16" or cryptM == "b16":
        base16()
    elif cryptM == "sha224" or cryptM == "SHA224":
        SHA224()
    elif cryptM == "sha1" or cryptM == "SHA1":
        SHA1()
    elif cryptM == "sha256" or cryptM == "SHA256":
        SHA256()
    elif cryptM == "Sha384" or cryptM == "SHA384":
        SHA384()
    elif cryptM == "sha512" or cryptM == "SHA512":
        SHA512()
    elif cryptM == "exit" or cryptM == "Exit":
        x = 0

I'm assuming it runs like a shell, uses raw_input. Haven't tryed it either, just trying to encourage him to keep scripting.

str.lower

[xzid]

is case sensitive, like python. But will also tolerate PEOPLE WITH CAPS LOCK ON!!!

[Stackprotector]

but why cryptM == "base16" or cryptM == "Base16" , instead of lowering all chars.

[xzid]

I don't have an answer for that, I'm done defending him.

Dude use Pastebin.com and thanks for posting im just coming over to Python from C and C++
