RIPcoder v1.5c (ultimate solution for file protection!)
-------------------------------------------------------

All information and latest version of RIPcoder you can find at:
http://kach.nm.ru/

Also you can download it from www.simtel.net or www.winsite.com

New in this version(1.5c):
 + Compression for the messages added (lz8/14)
 + Shred files option added
 + Files selection interface a little bit improved

New in version(1.5b):
 + Message protection part enhanced
   + New methods in text-part added: TripleDES/BlowFish/AES
   + Key choose for these methods MD5/SHA1/Int#1(internal,local)
     (SHA1 was cutted down to 128 bits for MD5 length compatibility)
   + Font choose dialog
 * About box changed
 * Plugin changed to simple XOR32 example

New in version(1.5a):
 + TripleDES/BlowFish final block changed (there was a doubtful place).
 + AES-128 added
 + root dir in a rip structure added
 + some artefakts with panels on v-drive fixed

New in version(1.5.1 read as "version 1.5 second build"):
 + BlowFish added
 + TripleDES added
(this methods faster than DES+, but DES+ more stronger)
 - 2&3 methods removed because they are similar with 1, 100% support for all old versioned files.
 + 32bits write-back block connection for DES+

New in version(1.4a):
 + Improved exceptions on disk errors
 + Added multi file(s) and path(s) deleting if encryption completed without errors
 + Added plugin section and one demo plugin
 + Message DESTimes default = 3&4 now (was 1&1)
 + "No hints" checkbox added
 + Drive select added (now you can collect files&paths from different drives)
 + Null swap (now memory swap is available!). Only if you have enough ram count for operation.

New in version (1.4):
Multi Path/File interface let you add paths and files into RIP file. To use this option you must check "Enable multi file/path interface", and then you may collect files and paths to encrypt/decrypt (move the files with a right mouse button). All files are placed in one rip-file which include encrypted zip-like structure.  The structure encrypted as a whole object, i.e. there is no way of restoring password by some known file in a structure, but to decrypt one file program needs to decrypt all files in a structure, it's a time and a swap to disk, which is not so good as a swap to memory. Later I will add null swap, but I don't have much time and the program is free. As well later I will add other methods(like well known).

* RIPcoder uses pure assembly optimized encryption (for DES+ only) to get maximum protection with minimum time.

Coming soon:
 + Linux version of RIPcoder, also free.

Please donate this project, and I'll send you full documentation of all functions and methods of work with this program. It's very useful and easy to work with, if you know how. You tell me the program is hard enough but I just trying to give you a nice instrument to do protect your information, and I don't want to make a few button interface, which is not so useful so you may think about. Iam doing RIPcoder in  my free from work time and as you see it's freeware, it will have a continue only with your support.
