# Encrypt

A sysops toolkit for scanning, monitoring, reporting, alerting, tracking top processes, checking usage, verifying system state, applying fixes, cleaning up, backing up, restoring, logging, benchmarking, and comparing — all from the command line.

Commands

| Command | Description |

|---------|-------------|

| `encrypt scan <input>` | Scan for security issues — log scan targets and findings |

| `encrypt monitor <input>` | Monitor encryption status or system events — record monitoring data |

| `encrypt report <input>` | Generate security/encryption reports — save report specifications |

| `encrypt alert <input>` | Set or log security alerts — track alert conditions and triggers |

| `encrypt top <input>` | Track top processes or resource consumers — log top entries |

| `encrypt usage <input>` | Check resource or encryption usage — record usage metrics |

| `encrypt check <input>` | Check system or encryption state — log check results |

| `encrypt fix <input>` | Apply fixes to encryption or security issues — record fix operations |

| `encrypt cleanup <input>` | Clean up old keys, certs, or temp files — log cleanup actions |

| `encrypt backup <input>` | Backup encryption keys or config — track backup operations |

| `encrypt restore <input>` | Restore from backup — log restore operations |

| `encrypt log <input>` | Log arbitrary security events — record custom log entries |

| `encrypt benchmark <input>` | Benchmark encryption performance — save benchmark results |

| `encrypt compare <input>` | Compare encryption configs or performance — track comparisons |

| `encrypt stats` | Show summary statistics across all command categories |

| `encrypt export json\|csv\|txt` | Export all logged data in JSON, CSV, or plain text format |

| `encrypt search <term>` | Search across all log entries for a keyword |

| `encrypt recent` | Show the 20 most recent activity entries |

| `encrypt status` | Health check — version, data directory, entry count, disk usage, last activity |

| `encrypt help` | Show available commands and usage |

| `encrypt version` | Show version (v2.0.0) |

Each domain command (scan, monitor, report, etc.) works in two modes:

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in `~/.local/share/encrypt/`. Each command writes to its own log file (e.g., `scan.log`, `monitor.log`, `backup.log`) and a shared `history.log` tracks all activity with timestamps. No cloud sync, no external API calls — everything stays on your machine.

Requirements

When to Use

1. **Security scanning and monitoring** — Use `scan` to log security scan results, `monitor` to track ongoing encryption status, and `alert` to record security events that need attention

2. **Key and certificate lifecycle management** — Use `backup` and `restore` to track key backup/restore operations, `cleanup` to log removal of expired certs or old keys, and `check` to verify current state

3. **Encryption performance benchmarking** — Use `benchmark` to log encryption speed tests, `compare` to track performance across different algorithms or configurations, and `report` to summarize findings

4. **Incident response and auditing** — Use `log` to record custom security events, `report` to build incident summaries, and `search` to quickly find relevant entries across all categories

5. **System maintenance and compliance** — Use `fix` to track remediation actions, `usage` to monitor resource consumption, `top` to identify heavy consumers, and `export` to generate audit-ready data

Examples

# Scan for encryption issues
encrypt scan "TLS certificates on prod servers — 3 expiring within 30 days"

# Monitor encryption status
encrypt monitor "AES-256 encryption active on all database volumes"

# Set a security alert
encrypt alert "Certificate for api.example.com expires 2025-04-15"

# Backup encryption keys
encrypt backup "GPG keyring exported to /secure/backup/2025-03-18.tar.gz"

# Benchmark encryption performance
encrypt benchmark "AES-256-GCM: 1.2 GB/s encrypt, 1.4 GB/s decrypt on Xeon E5"

# Compare configurations
encrypt compare "ChaCha20 vs AES-256: ChaCha20 15% faster on ARM, AES faster on x86"

# Clean up expired certificates
encrypt cleanup "Removed 12 expired certs from /etc/ssl/archive/"

# Check current state
encrypt check "All 5 TLS endpoints valid, shortest expiry: 89 days"

# Export all data to CSV
encrypt export csv

# View statistics
encrypt stats

# Search for specific entries
encrypt search certificate

How It Works

Encrypt uses a simple append-only log architecture. Each command appends a timestamped, pipe-delimited entry (`YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|value`) to its category-specific log file. The `stats` command aggregates line counts across all logs, `search` runs case-insensitive grep across all files, and `export` serializes everything into your chosen format (JSON, CSV, or plain text). The `status` command gives a quick system health overview including version, total entries, disk usage, and last activity timestamp.
