XorIt 1.9

XorIt is a file encryption software for Windows that utilizes the XOR encryption method to secure data. Unlike other encryption methods that rely on the difficulty of key factorization, XorIt uses keys that are the same size as the file to be encrypted. This, in combination with using an unpredictable file as a "one-time pad", makes it completely unbreakable, "even to computers 1000 years from now," according to its developer. It is important to note that XorIt is a program for advanced users, and those looking for easy encryption should look elsewhere.

One of the standout features of XorIt is its speed; it can XOR a CD of data in under 2 minutes on most systems. It is also simple to use, with the user only having to select the source, the key and they're ready to XOR. XorIt also supports multi-user setups and can run without any problems on a low privilege login and Windows Vista.

XorIt is written in 100% Assembly Language, which makes it small and memory efficient. The program itself is around 50KB. It can also be run from a USB key, and does not even need to be installed. The installer also supports installation on Window Vista without UAC prompts, as well as installation on low privilege logins.

Decryption is easy with XorIt, as the mathematical way to reverse a XOR is to XOR it again. To encrypt a file, the user selects the file to be XORed, selects the Cryption file to XOR the source with, and selects where the output files will go. The default is the same folder as the source, but the user can also select a different directory or choose to reset to the desktop.

In terms of drawbacks, XorIt is only suitable for advanced users and may not be the best choice for those looking for easy encryption. Additionally, it can only encrypt files that are less than 4GB and have an extension.

Overall, XorIt is a powerful and secure file encryption software that utilizes the XOR encryption method to protect data. Its speed and simplicity of use, combined with its unbreakable security, make it an excellent choice for advanced users who need to secure sensitive information.
