CryptoPaste

A secure, browser-side encrypted pastebin.

About

CryptoPaste is a secure pastebin service inspired by CryptoBin. Like CryptoBin, CryptoPaste strives to be a secure, stable and clean pastebin service, especially now that CryptoBin has seemingly shut its doors indefinitely. The goal is to perform all encryption, decryption, and data handling in the user's browser so that the CryptoPaste host has both plausible deniability and the inability to comply with court orders or takedown requests.

CryptoPaste is a HackThisSite project.

Features

• Pastes are encrypted before being sent to the server
• No passwords stored
• All identifying information is anonymized
• Expired content is deleted forever
• CRON for enforced expiration

Demonstration

An active demonstration of CryptoPaste can be found at https://cryptopaste.org

TODO

• (Need Help!) Write legitimate testing
• (Need Help!) Tidy up all code
• (Need Help!) Fix the UI to have better responsive scaling and other improvements

Prerequisites

• PHP 7
• Composer
• MySQL or SQLite

Install

1. Clone or download this repository, then cd into the directory, and run

$ composer install

2. Install resources/cryptopaste.mysql.sql into your MySQL database and create a user with SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE grants

   • For SQLite, use the resources/cryptopaste.sqlite.sql file

3. Copy config.ini.example to config.ini and edit the values

4. Edit your nginx.conf and add this to your http block:

    map $remote_addr $ip_anonym1 {
     default 0.0.0;
     "~(?P<ip>(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+))\.\d+" $ip;
     "~(?P<ip>[^:]+:[^:]+):" $ip;
    }

    map $remote_addr $ip_anonym2 {
     default .0;
     "~(?P<ip>(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+))\.\d+" .0;
     "~(?P<ip>[^:]+:[^:]+):" ::;
    }

    map $ip_anonym1$ip_anonym2 $ip_anonymized {
     default 0.0.0.0;
     "~(?P<ip>.*)" $ip;
    }

    log_format anonymized '$ip_anonymized - $remote_user [$time_local] ' 
       '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent ' 
       '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"';

    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log anonymized;

5. In your nginx.conf, in the server block, this is all you need to run the CryptoPaste app:

      location ~ /securimage/(images/.*|securimage(_play\.swf|\.js|\.css))$ {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        alias /var/www/cryptopaste/vendor/dapphp;
      }

      location / {
        try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
      }

      location ~ ^/index\.php(/|$) {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock; # Change this to reflect how your PHP-FPM is running
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $host;
      }

6. Add a CRON entry to force deletion of expired pastes. Here is an example crontab entry that is run every 5 minutes as the www-data user:

*/5	*	*	*	*	www-data	/usr/bin/php /var/www/cryptopaste/src/cron.php >> /var/log/cryptopaste-cron.log

Upgrade

Any time you upgrade, you must make sure to flush the cache/twig/ folder of all content (minus the .gitignore file, of course).
