Command Line C++ Interface for my Password Manager on Linux

Primary LanguageC++

Password Manager

C++ Windows GUI/Linux Command Line Interface Submodule
Latest Version: 1.0.2

Description

This is a (no longer so) simple password manager that runs on SQLAlchemy.
This is the C++ interface submodule.

Linux CLI Installation

Download scrypt-jane and move it to scrypt-jane/. Build it using gcc scrypt-jane.c -O3 -DSCRYPT_SALSA -DSCRYPT_SHA256 -c.
Copy linux_cli/config_example.h to linux_cli/config.h.
Change the serverURL variable in linux_cli/config.h to your server URL.
Run linux_cli/build.sh. This should generate a binary called cli.

Windows Interface Installation

Building is split into 2 parts - MinGW for C++ building of Backend (a DLL) and Visual C# for GUI wrapper (an executable).

Step 1: MinGW Building (Backend)

Download cryptopp 5.6.5 to cryptopp/.
Apply patch.
Apply patch.
Download scrypt-jane and move it to scrypt-jane/.
Note: Remove x86_64-w64-mingw32 if on Windows.
Build dependencies, then project:

cd cryptopp  
make CXX=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc AR=x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar RANLIB=x86_64-w64-mingw32-ranlib  
cd ../scrypt-jane  
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc scrypt-jane.c -O3 -DSCRYPT_SALSA -DSCRYPT_SHA256 -c  
cd ../main
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ -static windows.cpp ../scrypt-jane/scrypt-jane.o -I.. -L../cryptopp -lcryptopp -O2 -shared -o windows.dll

Step 2: Visual C# Building (C# GUI)

Finish building Backend
Open C# project in windows_gui/ in Visual Studio
Build
Copy windows.dll to output directory where the final, built exe is
Run

Dependencies

  • CryptoPP
  • Scrypt-jane
  • OpenSSL+libcURL
  • (For building Windows GUI only) Visual Studio
    Note: Dependencies are only required at runtime on Linux if not statically linked. On Windows, the binary should be statically linked and therefore no dependencies should be required.
