DONE: IDEA - encrypted-SFX-EXE to see secret text

December 17, 2005,

Hello community,
Iam searching for an freeware tool.

Edit: Jan. 2006
This dream already came true with the fantastic tool fSekrit by f0dder
Read on and see in the second last post the link to the fSekrit home page ==>

I know a few crypting software
how create SFX-EXEs, so i need not
to install any program on an other PC
only to decrypt my textfiles.

But thats the point:
i don't want to decrypt and unpack my encrypted textfile!

I want an EXE how ask for the right password
and show me the text in the windows editor only.
(no decrypted/unpackt new file    'cus i must delete this secure file myself and have a wipe tool to do so)

If i close the editor, all secret infos should be gone.
If i want to see my text again, i have to execute the EXE again.


---
This is like the encrypted PDF files -- just double click the PDF - enter the
 password - close the PDF and all is secure again.

But on most PC it take for me too many time to open the reader...
... and i know a many PC without any PDF reader.
----


The tool i search could be a commandline tool.
Or with an GUI and optional with context menu option.


Here the steps i wanna do again:
1. encrypt my "Licence.txt" file
2. get an encrypted SXF EXE
3. burn this "Licence.txt"-SFX-EXE with others on an CD
4. go to an other computer and double click the EXE
5. enter the password
6. the EXE should decrypt the "Licence.txt" file into the RAM and open notepad to show me the text
7. if i close notepad the "Licence.txt" file into the RAM should be wiped.

Please, is there such an freeware tool anyhow around ?

AbteriX:
additions i like:

- the secure must not be very high for me
- the tool should be an single exe file and stand alone
- would be nice if there is no registry access (not even an INI is needed)

AbteriX:
to clarify:

i need this only for simple ASCII text.

f0dder:
Stefan, do you need to be able to edit the file, or is read-only access just fine?

If read-only is fine, it shouldn't be too hard to come up with some hack :)

mouser:
this seems like a useful idea -
but, relating to fodder's question,i  suggest that you NOT make it read only.

i.e. when you double click the exe and enter your password, it should show the contents in a window where you can now edit the contents and change password and RESAVE it.
