I could probably hack up a patch to make it read from stdin, but it would be far better if the bcrypt developers did this.

Perhaps post a feature request for an option to read from stdin (and preferably write to stdout also) on their developer mail list or whatever they have?

Well, since the last update is from 2002, I doubt there's anyone who would respond :(

I didn't realize it was unmaintained.  In itself that 's not a great sign for an encryption prog unfortunately.

Not sure about alternatives.  The aespipe binary is 60K when stripped ie still bigger than bcrypt.  Perhaps if optimized for size would get smaller.  des is 39.5K.  

I'll think about a patch.  I fooled around with the OpenSSL API and wrote a (not production ready) blowfish encryption prog out of it not long ago that read from stdin, so I have the general idea.  (It wasn't that small a binary).   But I wouldn't inflict anything like that of mine on the general public just yet without getting some expert code review.
