ZeroBin

ZeroBin is a cool tool that lets you share text securely. It uses client-side encryption, meaning your data stays safe and private. Plus, the best part? You don’t even need a database to run it!

Why Choose ZeroBin?

If you want to try it out, just hop over to 0bin.net. You can also grab the source code on GitHub, and if you find any bugs, feel free to report them!

What Makes ZeroBin Unique?

This handy tool allows anyone to host their own pastebin. You can paste any kind of content without worrying about moderation. Why? Because no one can decrypt what they can't see! It's basically a Python version of the ZeroBin project.

Easy Setup for Everyone

You don't have to be a Python expert to get this running. It’s super easy to install! So whether you’re using Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, you're all set.

How Does It Work?

Creating a Paste:

• Your browser generates a random key.


• The content gets encrypted with this key using AES256.


• This encrypted content is sent straight to the server.


• You’ll get back a unique URL with the key added in the URL hash (#).

Reading a Paste:

• Your browser makes a GET request using that paste URL.


• The key stays safe in the hash and isn’t sent with the request.


• The encrypted content is decrypted with that key right in your browser.


• You’ll see your nicely formatted content!

Key Features of ZeroBin

• The key never leaves your browser—it's not logged on the server!


• All operations happen on your device; the server just stores encrypted data.


• No need for manual code coloration; it does this automatically!


• You can set pastes to expire after 1 day, 1 month, or never!


• Pastes can burn after reading—once viewed, they’re gone!


• You can clone pastes easily but cannot edit them directly.


• If your file is too big for copy/paste, just upload it instead!
