Horcrust

Horcrust is a command-line-tool which splits a file into encrypted shards for safekeeping. As long as the specified threshold is met, a user can resurrect their original file at any time - no password necessary.

This project is a Rust implementation of the original horcrux

Usage

Horcrust only has 2 commands split and bind.

Splitting

horcrust split classified.txt --shards 4 --threshold 2

The split command supports standard input!

cat ../files/classified.txt | horcrust split --shards 4 --threshold 2

You can specify where the shards can be placed using the optional directory argument

horcrust split classified.txt --shards 4 --threshold 4 --destination ../../documents/stash

Binding When you're ready to recover your secret do the following.

horcrust bind ../secrets
