nitrocli
========
- [Changelog](https://github.com/d-e-s-o/nitrocli/blob/master/nitrocli/CHANGELOG.md)
**nitrocli** is a program that provides a command line interface for
interaction with [Nitrokey Pro][nitrokey-pro] and [Nitrokey
Storage][nitrokey-storage] devices.
The following commands are currently supported:
- status: Report status information about the Nitrokey.
- lock: Lock the Nitrokey.
- config: Access the Nitrokey's configuration
- get: Read the current configuration.
- set: Change the configuration.
- storage: Work with the Nitrokey's storage.
- open: Open the encrypted volume. The user PIN needs to be entered.
- close: Close the encrypted volume.
- status: Print information about the Nitrokey's storage.
- hidden:
- create: Create a hidden volume.
- open: Open a hidden volume with a password.
- close: Close a hidden volume.
- otp: Access one-time passwords (OTP).
- get: Generate a one-time password.
- set: Set an OTP slot.
- status: List all OTP slots.
- clear: Delete an OTP slot.
- pin: Manage the Nitrokey's PINs.
- clear: Remove the user and admin PIN from gpg-agent's cache.
- set: Change the admin or the user PIN.
- unblock: Unblock and reset the user PIN.
- pws: Access the password safe (PWS).
- get: Query the data on a PWS slot.
- set: Set the data on a PWS slot.
- status: List all PWS slots.
- clear: Delete a PWS slot.
Usage
-----
Usage is as simple as providing the name of the respective command as a
parameter (note that some commands are organized through subcommands,
which are required as well), e.g.:
```bash
# Open the nitrokey's encrypted volume.
$ nitrocli storage open
$ nitrocli status
Status:
model: Storage
serial number: 0x00053141
firmware version: 0.47
user retry count: 3
admin retry count: 3
$ nitrocli storage status
Status:
SD card ID: 0x05dcad1d
firmware: unlocked
storage keys: created
volumes:
unencrypted: active
encrypted: active
hidden: inactive
# Close it again.
$ nitrocli storage close
```
More examples, a more detailed explanation of the purpose, the potential
subcommands, as well as the parameters of each command are provided in
the [`man` page](https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-nitrocli/).
Installation
------------
In addition to Rust itself and Cargo, its package management tool, the
following dependencies are required:
- **hidapi**: In order to provide USB access this library is used.
- **GnuPG**: The `gpg-connect-agent` program allows the user to enter
PINs.
#### Via Packages
Packages are available for:
- Arch Linux: [`nitrocli`][nitrocli-arch] in the Arch User Repository
- Debian: [`nitrocli`][nitrocli-debian] (since Debian Buster)
- Gentoo Linux: [`app-crypt/nitrocli`][nitrocli-gentoo] ebuild
- Ubuntu: [`nitrocli`][nitrocli-ubuntu] (since Ubuntu 19.04)
#### From Crates.io
**nitrocli** is [published][nitrocli-cratesio] on crates.io and can
directly be installed from there:
```bash
$ cargo install nitrocli --root=$PWD/nitrocli
```
#### From Source
After cloning the repository and changing into the `nitrocli` subfolder,
the build is as simple as running:
```bash
$ cargo build --release
```
It is recommended that the resulting executable be installed in a
directory accessible via the `PATH` environment variable.
Known Problems
--------------
- Due to a problem with the default `hidapi` version on macOS, users are
advised to build and install [`libnitrokey`][] from source and then
set the `USE_SYSTEM_LIBNITROKEY` environment variable when building
`nitrocli` using one of the methods described above.
- `nitrocli` cannot connect to a Nitrokey device that is currently being
accessed by `nitrokey-app` ([upstream issue][libnitrokey#32]). To
prevent this problem, quit `nitrokey-app` before using `nitrocli`.
Contributing
------------
Contributions are generally welcome. Please follow the guidelines
outlined in [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/d-e-s-o/nitrocli/blob/master/nitrocli/doc/CONTRIBUTING.md).
