One-Time Secret 0.5
Keep sensitive info out of your chat logs & email.
Basic Usage
Use onetime
to share something you know (a secret phrase, a special link, etc) or to generate a secret (e.g. a temporary password).
onetime share
You can pipe it:
$ echo "I STILL WATCH NIGHT COURT." | onetime
https://onetimesecret.com/secret/mc5o2649tva6885wvyspm0flobsasin
You can type it:
$ onetime
Paste secret here (hit control-D to continue):
I STILL WATCH NIGHT COURT.

And you can read from a file:
$ <path/2/file onetime
https://onetimesecret.com/secret/8f8k3ajhax87ctln3h6y11nsb4vf0wq
Note that we don’t use cat
in that example! We don’t want to provoke the ire of Randal L. Schwartz.
onetime generate
$ onetime generate
Your secret: CttenFwzVpjs
https://onetimesecret.com/secret/er5djg1wodsp5m32oyym489bnuhsfp6
onetime get
You can retrieve a secret too:
$ onetime get er5djg1wodsp5m32oyym489bnuhsfp6
[...SECRET...]
The URI works too:
$ onetime get https://onetimesecret.com/secret/er5djg1wodsp5m32oyym489bnuhsfp6
[...SECRET...]
Output Format
onetime
also supports YAML, JSON, and to a limited extent CSV outputs. Specify the format using the -f
global option:
$ onetime -f yaml generate

Installation
$ [sudo] gem install onetime
However, in order to be sure the code you're installing hasn't been tampered with, it's recommended that you verify the signiture[http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/21]. To do this, you need to add my public key as a trusted certificate (you only need to do this once):
# Add the public key as a trusted certificate
# (You only need to do this once)
$ curl -O https://raw.github.com/onetimesecret/onetime-ruby/master/gem-public_cert.pem
$ gem cert --add gem-public_cert.pem
Then, when install the gem, do so with high security:
$ gem install onetime -P HighSecurity
If you don't add the public key, you'll see an error like "Couldn't verify data signature". If you're still having trouble let me know and I'll give you a hand.
