A client-side encrypted PasteBin (0bin.net)

Shameless self promotion: I did something similar a while back, available at https://cryptob.in

Haven’t had the time to publish the sources, but I didn’t obfuscate the JS (where all the interesting and important stuff is happening)

I like your idea with the file uploads.

The “Copy To Clipboard” link in Chrome shows a puzzle icon overlay to activate Adobe Flash.


interesting, but I'm not sure of some of the UI decisions. upload file a bit too relevant, easy to confuse with submit, when people is most likely to copy paste. I would have also added at least a 1 week expiration option, and probably set that as a default, though that's very personal, and would have added code coloring as an option in the front page too, though I like the idea of autodetecting by default. short url generation doesn't work here either, chrome in my case. can't write tabs manually in the text area either.


There are also Up1 instances, which support pastes as well as files, and encrypt everything client side.

I was using 0bin quite often, but a couple of weeks ago they had problems with their SSL certificate, so no browser would let me use the site. Happy to see it's back!



Decryption is very slow for some reason. In comprasion http://sebsauvage.net/paste/ works instantaneously.


NSFW warning: Don't get curious about the Sam & Max link at the bottom of the page and subsequently scroll down unless you like meatspin.


For those who don't know them, Sam & Max use to maintain a French blog about "Python, Django, Git and Sex" they gave tips and good practices about those tools, and once in a while they would post about their sexual experience.

They now changed the blog motto to "Some code, and some sex". But the concept is the same: NSFW meme as a pictures for french technical blog posts.

0bin.net in itself is just the Python implementation of ZeroBin. ZeroBin in the first implementation of an client side encrypted pastebin, it was written in PHP by another french blogger: sebsauvage. https://github.com/sebsauvage/ZeroBin

The reason the french community is so active on this matter is because of multiple past french parliament bills equivalent to DMCA/Patriot Act in the 2010s.


Didn't generate the short URL for me. I'm on Firefox.


It's using the old goo.gl link shortener API... which no longer exists. The server is open source and hasn't been updated in a few years.
