0bin: a client side encrypted pastebin
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
0bin is a pastebin that encrypts the user content in the browsder and can run without a database.
|
|
|
|
* Try it: `0bin.net <http://0bin.net>`_
|
|
* `Report a bug <https://github.com/sametmax/0bin/issues>`_
|
|
|
|
0bin allows anybody to host a pastebin while welcoming any type of content to
|
|
be pasted in it. The idea is that one can (probably...) not be legally entitled
|
|
to `moderate the pastebin content`_ as they have no way to decrypt it.
|
|
|
|
It's an Python implementation of the `zerobin project`_, created by sebsauvage, under the `WTFPL licence`_.
|
|
|
|
For now tested with IE9, and the last opera, safari, chrome and FF.
|
|
|
|
There is a `good doc <http://readthedocs.org/docs/0bin/en/latest/>`_,
|
|
but in short::
|
|
|
|
pip install zerobin
|
|
zerobin
|
|
|
|
0bin runs on Python 3.7+.
|
|
|
|
How it works
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
When creating the paste:
|
|
|
|
- the browser generates a random key;
|
|
- the pasted content is encrypted with this key using AES256;
|
|
- the encrypted pasted content is sent to the server;
|
|
- the browser receives the paste URL and adds the key in the URL hash (#).
|
|
|
|
When reading the paste:
|
|
|
|
- the browser makes the GET request to the paste URL;
|
|
- because the key is in the hash, the key is not part of the request;
|
|
- browser gets the encrypted content end decrypts it using the key;
|
|
- the pasted decrypted content is displayed and sourcecode is highlighted.
|
|
|
|
Key points:
|
|
|
|
- because the key is in the hash, the key is never sent to the server;
|
|
- therefore it won't appear in the server logs;
|
|
- all operations, including code coloration, happen on the client-side;
|
|
- the server is no more than a fancy recipient for the encrypted data.
|
|
|
|
Other features
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
- automatic code coloration (no need to specify the language);
|
|
- pastebin expiration: 1 day, 1 month or never;
|
|
- burn after reading: the paste is destroyed after the first reading;
|
|
- clone paste: you can't edit a paste, but you can duplicate any of them;
|
|
- code upload: if a file is too big, you can upload it instead of using copy/paste;
|
|
- copy paste to clipboard in a click;
|
|
- own previous pastes history;
|
|
- reader mode;
|
|
|
|
Known issues
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
- 0bin uses several HTML5/CSS3 features that are not widely supported. In that case we handle the degradation as gracefully as we can.
|
|
- The pasted content size limit check is not accurate. It's just a safety net, so we think it's ok.
