ccat8

Usage

Overview

ccat prompts for a passphrase and decrypts (onto standard output) the specified CFS encrypted files. If a corresponding CFS IV file (.pvect_*) file exists in the same directory, it is used to perturb the file accordingly. By default, files are decrypted using standard 2-key hybrid mode single-DES. The -3 option specifies 2-key hybrid mode triple DES. The -m option specifies 1-key hybrid mode MacGuffin, and -s specifies SAFER-SK128.

ccat is intended to assist in emergency access to CFS directories when no machine running a CFS daemon is available. It is ordinarily used in conjunction with cname(8).
