PrivateBin

Product Overview

PrivateBin is an open-source online pastebin and discussion board that prioritizes user privacy and security. Unlike other pastebins, PrivateBin's server has zero knowledge of the hosted data, ensuring that users' content remains private and confidential. With a focus on transparency and security, PrivateBin provides a platform for users to share text documents, code samples, and more while maintaining control over their own data.

Main Features

1. Encryption: Data sent to the server is encrypted using 256-bit AES in Galois Counter mode, ensuring that even if the server is compromised, the data remains protected.
2. Password Protection: Users can set a password required to read a paste, adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.
3. Plausible Deniability: As a server administrator, you don't have to worry about hosting content that may be illegal in your country, as PrivateBin provides plausible deniability for any pastes hosted on the platform.
4. Security: PrivateBin requires HTTPS connections to ensure secure communication between users and the server. Additionally, it's essential to use HSTS, traditional certificate authorities, or DNSSEC-protected DANE records to secure the instance.
5. No Data Storage: The server has zero knowledge of hosted data, ensuring that no sensitive information is stored or compromised.

By emphasizing user privacy and security, PrivateBin provides a trustworthy platform for users to share their thoughts, ideas, and creations while maintaining control over their digital footprint.
