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.

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 "password" to encrypt the paste is part of the URL. If you publicly post a paste URL, everybody can read it.

• 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:

• 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.

• Installation guide

• Configuration guide

• Developer guide
