Hi! My Name is Seth and I'm 10 years old and I made this so I can learn how to lock and unlock files with Python. It’s just for fun and learning — not for being mean or hacking!
- You run
voldemort.pyto lock your files. - It makes a secret key file called
thekey.keyby itself. - Don’t delete the
thekey.keyor you won’t be able to unlock your files later! - Don’t run
decrypt.pyby itself — it won’t work right. Only run it fromvoldemort.py!
- Run
voldemort.py - It looks for files and locks them with a secret key.
- It asks you for a secret phrase.
- If you type the right phrase, it runs
decrypt.pyand unlocks your files again.
Because every time you run voldemort.py, it makes a new secret key! That way everyone gets their own secret code, like a real spy.
Don’t run it on important files or stuff you care about.
If you don’t understand something, ask a grown-up or a teacher to help you.
voldemort.py— The main script that locks and asks for the secret phrasedecrypt.py— The file that unlocks stuff (but only run it fromvoldemort.py!)thekey.key— The secret key that helps unlock files (created when you runvoldemort.py)
- Don’t run this on files you need!
- Keep your secret key safe and don’t share it with others.
- Always run
decrypt.pyonly fromvoldemort.py.
Thanks for checking out my project! Happy coding! 🐍😄
