๐Ÿ” Oversec - Privacy for All Apps!

Oversec transparently encrypts and decrypts any text in any app.

Oversec constantly monitors the text on your screen. When it finds an encrypted text, it tries to decrypt it and then shows the decrypted text as an overlay in place of the encrypted text. Conversely, it can read text out of an input field, encrypt it, and then put the encrypted text back into the input field.

Oversec also features a unique way of encoding the encrypted messages. It stores the encrypted text in invisible (zero-width) characters and let's you add decoy text at the end.

You may also encrypt and send photos through Oversec - its unique camera mode even allows you to take and send an encrypted photo without ever storing the original photo on the device.

Oversec encrypts your data either using symmetric keys (using ChaCha20 cipher + Poly1305 MAC) or using asymmetric PGP encryption (making use of the OpenKeychain app).

๐Ÿ’ป The Art of Command Line

Learn the command line on one page.

This guide is the result of many authors and translators and created for both beginners and experienced users.

The goals:

โœ”๏ธbreadth (everything important);
โœ”๏ธspecificity (give concrete examples of the most common case);
โœ”๏ธbrevity (avoid things that aren't essential or digressions you can easily look up elsewhere).

Every tip is essential in some situation or significantly saves time over alternatives.
The focus is on interactive Bash, though many tips apply to other shells and to general Bash scripting.
It includes both "standard" Unix commands as well as ones that require special package installs -- so long as they are important enough to merit inclusion.
