gauth: replace Google Authenticator

This fork adds standalone program files for several OS.

Execution

Download program file adapted to your OS

Windows

gauth_windows.exe , then execute it.

Linux

gauth_linux , then execute it.

In a terminal :

    ./gauth_linux

Mac OS: gauth_mac.app, then execute it.

You will be asked to create a gauth.csv file if it doesn't exists.

Usage

• In web interfaces, pretend you can't read QR codes, get a secret like hret 3ij7 kaj4 2jzg instead.

• Store one secret per line in ~/.gauth/gauth.csv, in the format name:secret. For example:

    AWS:   ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ234567ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ234567
    Airbnb:abcd efgh ijkl mnop
    Google:a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9
    Github:234567qrstuvwxyz
  

• Run gauth app for your environment. The progress bar indicates how far the next change is.

    $ gauth
               prev   curr   next
    AWS        315306 135387 483601
    Airbnb     563728 339206 904549
    Google     453564 477615 356846
    Github     911264 548790 784099
    [=======                      ]
  

• Remember to keep your system clock synchronized and to lock your computer when brewing your tea!

Encryption

gauth supports password-based encryption of gauth.csv. To encrypt, use:

    $ openssl enc -aes-128-cbc -md sha256 -in gauth.csv -out ~/.gauth/gauth.csv
    enter aes-128-cbc encryption password:
    Verifying - enter aes-128-cbc encryption password:

gauth will then prompt you for that password on every run:

    $ gauth
    Encryption password: 
               prev   curr   next
    LastPass   915200 479333 408710

Note that this encryption mechanism is far from ideal from a pure security standpoint. Please read OpenSSL's notes on the subject.
