Counter mode.
This is a fork of ZeroBin, originally developed by Sébastien Sauvage. It
was refactored to allow easier and cleaner extensions and has now much
more features than the original. It is however 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. More Info »
What PrivateBin 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 of the 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.
- Possibility to set a password which is required to read the paste.
It further protects a paste and prevents people stumbling upon your
paste's link from being able to read it without the password.
