if you like it, you can find the full library here: https://github.com/nucleoType98/Crypto-Viper.git, i made it just to make life easier for who doesn't like too much boilerplate, it works on Linux OS (x86-64 bit Architectures), i dont know about Windows and Mac OS, but i think it should work as well... i also added a function to brute force a hash cipher, using any key size(1,224,256, 384, 512)... which will require an hashed string, and it will start try to brute force crack it

Does your tool handle other types of strings, such as when a size must be declared, or would you recommend that this string type is converted? I had experimented with this in my own class & it's tough because if you convert a string type in runtime to & from, you end up leaving the string exposed unless you manually clear it, which makes it clunky to use runtime decryption. So, I started working on bringing over more types to my class so that this isn't needed. just wondering what your solution is for strings that require size to be defined.

You can give it your codebase, have it write out function types/definitions, and start writing up docs. I always review for accuracy, but with proper prompting and having it do it piece by piece, it usually ends up very well-documented.
