The project "No More Secrets" is a command line tool that recreates the famous data decryption effect seen in the 1992 hacker movie Sneakers.
Users can pipe ASCII or UTF-8 text to the tool, and it will apply the Hollywood effect of initially displaying encrypted data and then revealing the original plain-text characters through a decryption sequence.
The project provides options for auto-decrypting, masking space characters, setting foreground colors, clearing the screen, and displaying version info. It also includes a C library for developers who want to use the effect in their own projects.
