Hidr

Hide your strings!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hidr'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install hidr

Usage

Hidr allows you to obscure strings in other strings by facilitating a two-way conversion between a string and a binary version of that string.

The resulting binary characters can be any two charaters. By default it uses a space and a tab.

h = hidr::Hidr.new(b0: 'a', b1: 'z')
result = h.hide('Wow!')

After running this code, result will contain "zzzazazazzzzazzazzzazzzazaaaazaa".

It comes with a few commonly used mappings already setup: ascii, unicode, orly. Call the class method of the same name to get these hidrs.

You can use Hidr from bash with the hidr executable. For example:

% echo Some important stuff | bin/hidr -h
110010101111011010110110101001100000010010010110101101100000111011110110010011100010111010000110011101100010111000000100110011100010111010101110011001100110011001010000

or even

% echo Some important stuff | bin/hidr -h | bin/hidr -s
Some important stuff

Type hidr --help after gem installation for usage.
