KNOT & UNKNOT

knot and unknot are simple bash script wrapper for 7zip.
Just wanted a quick (lazy) way to simple compress and encrypt a file or group of files. Who has time to remember more command arguments? XD Same process to uncompress/decrypt.
It uses AES256 (7zip default for .7f files), encrypt files headers to hide file structure and it deletes original files after completing the job.

USE: knot

knot [file|folder|file1 file2 folder3...]

Type output filename [first filename as default]
Type password, repeat.
Profit

USE: unknot

unknot [file.7z]

Type your password
Profit

EXAMPLE

$# ls
file1 file2 file3 folder1 folder2

$# knot file1 file3 folder2
Output filename [file1]: myfiles
Enter your password: password@1
Repeat your password: password@1

$# ls
file2 folder1 myfiles.7z

$# unknot myfiles.7z
Enter your password: password@1

$# ls
file1 file2 file3 folder1 folder2
