-=[ PasswordBox ]=-
PasswordBox is a console-mode program which will keep all your passwords safe, inside an encrypted database.
This program is written by Mateusz Viste, and uses the AES implementation of Chris Brown to handle all encryption/decryption processes.
PasswordBox is available for the following operating systems: DOS, Windows, Linux.
Usage: pbox [--help] [--dump]
--help displays a help screen (any unsupported parameter will display it, too)
--dump lists all the data of your encrypted database onscreen
CAUTION: This program features 128 bits AES encryption, which might be illegal in your country.

** FAQ **
Q: Where does PasswordBox store its encrypted database?
A: The location of the database (which is, by the way, a single file) depends on the system you are running PasswordBox on. To know where the database is stored on your system, just type "pbox --help" - the location of the database will be printed on the screen.
Q: I lost my master password! How can I recover all informations that I stored inside my encrypted database?
A: You can't. That's the whole point of encrypting informations: you won't be able to get these informations unless you provide the password which was used to encrypt the database.
Q: Why have you created yet another password-keeping program?? There are already plenty of them out there!
A: That's right, there are many programs which allows you to keep a database of passwords, PINs, etc. However, I needed a *simple* program running on my Linux console, so I could access it easily via remote sessions. I couldn't find any program fulfilling these needs, therefore I decided to write my own.
Q: I don't trust you. How do I know that your program isn't secretly sending all my personal passwords to you?
A: PasswordBox, unlike many other similar applications, is published on a open source license (GNU/GPL). This allows you to examine the source code of PasswordBox (which is available on my website), and recompile it by yourself if you really want to.
