# ZeroBin 0.19 Alpha
|
|
|
|
ZeroBin is a minimalist, opensource online pastebin where the server has zero
|
|
knowledge of pasted data.
|
|
|
|
Data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser using 256 bit AES.
|
|
|
|
This fork of ZeroBin refactored the source code to allow easier and cleaner
|
|
extensions. It is still fully compatible to the original ZeroBin 0.19 data
|
|
storage scheme. Therefore such installations can be upgraded to this fork
|
|
without loosing any data.
|
|
|
|
## What ZeroBin provides
|
|
|
|
- As a server administrator you don't have to worry if your users post content
|
|
that is considered illegal in your country. You have no knowledge of any
|
|
pastes content. If requested or enforced, you can delete any paste from your
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
- Pastebin like system to store text documents, code samples, etc.
|
|
|
|
- Encryption of data sent to server, even if it does not provide HTTPS.
|
|
|
|
- Possibility to set a password which is asked when the paste is opened.
|
|
It further protects a paste and prevent people stumbling upon your paste's link
|
|
from being able to read it without this password.
|
|
|
|
## What it doesn't provide
|
|
|
|
- As a user you have to trust the server administrator, your internet provider
|
|
and any country the traffic passes not to inject any malicious code.
|
|
|
|
- The "key" used to encrypt the paste is part of the URL. If you publicly post
|
|
a non-passworded paste URL, everybody can read it. Use a password if you want
|
|
your paste to be "private".
|
|
|
|
- A server admin might be forced to hand over access logs to the authorities.
|
|
ZeroBin encrypts your text and the discussion contents, but who accessed it
|
|
first might still be disclosed via such access logs.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
Some features are optional and can be enabled or disabled in the [configuration
|
|
file](https://github.com/elrido/ZeroBin/wiki/Configuration):
|
|
|
|
- Discussions
|
|
|
|
- Expiration times, including a "forever" and "burn after reading" option
|
|
|
|
- Syntax highlighting using prettify.js, including 4 prettify themes
|
|
|
|
- Templates: By default there is a "classic" and a bootstrap based theme, but it
|
|
is easy to adapt these to your own websites layout.
