Running Tests:

Use the sample files inside the test folder with the below commands:

Test files:

python test_encrypt.py

python test_decrypt 

encrypt with commands:

Below command should encrypt the all the content found inside the test/test_data/source_location to the folder : test/test_data/destination_location.

efc_v3.py -o e -src test/test_data/source_location/ -dest test/test_data/dest_location -index-file index.db -index-password 123 -data-password 321 -allow-duplicate yes -random-names yes -ignore-types prop

decrypt with commands:

Below command should decrypt the all the content found inside the test/test_data/destination_location to the folder : test/test_data/source_location.

efc_v3.py -o d -src test/test_data/dest_location -restore test/test_data/restore -index-file index.db -index-password 123 -data-password 321
