The Mission
Command-line credential management for engineers who live in the terminal. Because "123456" isn't a security strategy, it's a prayer. CredX provides a hardened local vault where sensitive access tokens, secrets, and credentials can be generated, securely encrypted, and managed without relying on third-party cloud intermediaries.
Technical Specifications
AES-256 Encryption
All stored records are encrypted at rest using Python's cryptography primitives. Each vault item is protected by key derivation with unique salts, preventing rainbow table attacks.
Master Key Hashing
Single master authentication key using PBKDF2 with SHA-256. Zero-knowledge local verification ensures master passwords are never stored in plaintext on disk.
Entropy Password Generator
Built-in cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) that outputs configurable alphanumeric and special-character passwords with custom entropy thresholds.
Zero-Dependency Terminal UX
Lightweight CLI interface designed for fast pipeline integration, shell scripting, and quick clipboard synchronization without bloated external dependencies.
