Looks interesting. There's definitely room for improvement in the
encryption tools market and Encreep is a move in the right direction.
That said, there is no way in hell I would ever use it. Why? It's closed
source.

With everything going on with the NSA and other agencies these days,
someone would have to be insane to use a black box encryption solution.
Consider making it open source and I think you might have a winner.
