Encrypt_Pro: Lock your files to your physical hardware
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m a backend engineer and I’ve always felt that passwords aren't enough for our most sensitive local data. If someone steals your files and eventually cracks your password, your privacy is gone.
That’s why I built Encrypt_Pro.
What makes it different? Most encryption tools rely solely on a "Master Password." Encrypt_Pro introduces Hardware Anchoring. It creates a unique cryptographic fingerprint of your specific machine (CPU, Motherboard, etc.).
The result: A file encrypted on your laptop cannot be decrypted on any other computer, even if the person has the file and your password. It effectively ties your digital security to your physical ownership.
Key Features:
🦀 Built with Rust: High performance and memory safety.
🛡️ Zero-Knowledge: No cloud, no tracking. Everything stays on your metal.
⚓ Hardware Binding: Files are "locked" to the workstation where they were born.
💻 CLI First: Designed for developers and privacy-conscious users who love the terminal.
Why I built this: I wanted to explore the "Security Pillars" of local storage and create a tool that feels like a physical vault for digital assets. Whether it’s private keys, sensitive documents, or local backups, Encrypt_Pro ensures they never leave your desk alive.
I’d love your feedback on:
The Workflow: Is the CLI intuitive for you?
The Use Case: Would you use this for sensitive local backups or cold storage?
The Concept: Does hardware-anchoring give you more peace of mind, or do you prefer traditional password-only methods?
