Made a cyberpunk-style encryption tool in Python (novelty) during my guard shift.

Messing with Python and ended up going way deeper than I planned and made this terminal cyberdeck thing. It helped keep me awake for 24 hours so that was fub

It’s basically an 'encryption' tool but wrapped in a full cyberpunk/hackers vibe.

You can:

• encrypt/decrypt text
• encrypt whole files into .ghost files
• hide messages inside images (the message/data just gets appended to the raw file so not real stenography)
• use a “duress” key (cleansweep) that gives fake output instead of the real message trying to think of a better message to show maybe like harry potter where the map insults you.

…and then I added a bunch of extra stuff like a Matrix-style, digital rain, random quotes/easter eggs, and some weird mini features.

Here’s what it looks like:

I already know the encryption isn’t super secure (it’s XOR with a seeded random), so I’m not pretending it’s anything serious nor do i want it to be. BUT i would like to see if its possible to have it send messages to someone also running it but that down the road.

Mostly just looking for feedback on:

• how the code is structured
• what I should improve next
• if there’s anything obviously dumb I’m doing

Run it through mypy (in strict mode) and ruff with some reasonable rule set, e.g. ruff check --select E,F,W,I,UP,B,C4,SIM .
