Description
File-Encryptor.com is a web-service providing a unique facility to upload files and download an encrypted version; and decrypt in a similar manner. It can be used to encrypt data to be sent by e-mail, for example. It is used by people who would like a quick way to secure data, without having to download additional software.
The service relies on a secret method, using a secret key-salt. This means that files encrypted with File-Encryptor (FE) can only be decrypted with the service, providing the correct password. The webservice will be provided as is viewable, along with the database records.
The website is also made available in two other languages: Italian and Spanish, although these are web-tool translations. Approximately 25% of traffic view the alternative language pages.
Sale also includes two domains: file-encryptor.com and file-encrypter.com

Is this site pr 0?
Does the sale include InfoEncrypt.com
Yes, the site is PR0. It used to be PR4, but I believe that Google took the PR away because of TNX use. If PR is important to you, you could easily move the site to another domain, if you wish. However, earnings from TLA have remained relatively unaffected (actually rising, this projected month).
No, InfoEncrypt.com is an independent site.
Thanks,
Brendon.
may i know what u mean TNX use?
TNX.net is a web service paying you to place links on your website, for others to use for SEO. Using it runs the risk of getting blacklisted from Google's PageRank standpoint, as File-Encryptor.com has. It tends not to affect search engine position, from File-Encryptor's and my other sites' experiences. You could choose not to use TNX; it will not affect the income greatly, but does not guarantee the re-installment of PageRank for some time. Text Link Ads (TLA) is a similar service, but generally have better quality and long-term links.
Thanks,
Brendon.
What cipher and what implementation library is the site using for encryption?
Why can the data only be decrypted using the site?
What is stored in the database that is going to be provided?
Thank you.
It's an MD5-based block cipher similar to what you can find here: http://www.jonasjohn.de/snippets/php/md5-based-block-cipher.htm. There are probably better solutions, and changing to another solution should be simple if you have some PHP experience.
Data can only be decrypted with the site because the site holds two key salts required to decrypt. One is a global key salt, and the other is one of 65,535 key salts elected at random. Files can not be decrypted without the correct key combination, and the correct password.
The database contains the table for the hashing salts, It also contains a table to resolve between passwords and hashes, in the event that it is required.There is a one-record table which stores some statistics.
Thank you,
-Brendon.

You may have noticed that File Encryptor has a "Talk" page. This is a separate peice of software, and I will provide the source for that and the databases so you can run the talk software on your own page.
Thanks,
Brendon.
