Encryption

  • BorgBackup

    Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

    Project mention: Ask HN: How do you manage files and backups as an individual? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-14

    I started using Nextcloud for file/contact/calendar syncing a few years, and have gradually moved most of my digital life into it. Documents and photos, but also scripts to automatically set some things up for me when I do a fresh install of Linux (I've been playing around with a few different distros lately). The only thing that doesn't live in Nextcloud are some old DVD rips, and that's mostly due to "haven't gotten around to it yet". Besides those, if it's not in Nextcloud, it's not something I care too much about losing if a disk were to fail.

    My Nextcloud instance is then backed up to another drive on the same machine plus two off-site locations - an old server I still run at my parents' house, and and external HDD my friend let me plug in to his server. The on- and off-site backups are done using `borg` (https://www.borgbackup.org/), which does reduplication and encryption (with the keys backed up in 1Password).

    I've been meaning to set up an automated restore on one of the offsite servers - a script to automatically unpack the latest backup, set up a fresh DB, and make things read-only - firstly to verify that the backups are functional and complete, but also as a backup in case my home server or home internet goes down. I know in _theory_ I've got everything I need in the backups to do a full restore, but I can't recall the last time I actually tried it out...

  • yadm

    Yet Another Dotfiles Manager

    Project mention: Dotfiles: Best way to store in a bare Git repository (2016) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-02

    I can wholeheartedly recommend yadm which is built around this concept. If you know git, you know yadm.

  • EteSync Server

    The Etebase server (so you can run your own) (by etesync)

    Project mention: Show HN: ElectricSQL, Postgres to SQLite active-active sync for local-first apps | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-20

    Are you / have you considered leveraging postgres' row level security for this (row filtering)? Feels like a natural fit for ensuring the right subset of data gets to the right users https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-rowsecurity.html

    E2E encryption would also be nice to have, it could be worth having a look at https://www.etesync.com/ for inspiration

  • mongoaudit

    🔥 A powerful MongoDB auditing and pentesting tool 🔥

  • featherduster

    An automated, modular cryptanalysis tool; i.e., a Weapon of Math Destruction

  • py7zr

    7zip in python3 with ZStandard, PPMd, LZMA2, LZMA1, Delta, BCJ, BZip2, and Deflate compressions, and AES encryption.

  • mega.py

    Python library for the https://mega.nz/ API.

  • InfluxDB

    Purpose built for real-time analytics at any scale. InfluxDB Platform is powered by columnar analytics, optimized for cost-efficient storage, and built with open data standards.

  • SecretPixel

    SecretPixel is a cutting-edge steganography tool designed to securely conceal sensitive information within images. It stands out in the realm of digital steganography by combining advanced encryption, compression, and a seeded Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique to provide a robust solution for embedding data undetectably.

    Project mention: Show HN: SecretPixel – Advanced Image Steganography Tool | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-03

    I've tested Binwalk on all the example files, and the BMP and TGA samples didn't show any zlib compressed data (https://i.ibb.co/R4WWsV2/2024-02-04-16h22-31.png). Can you please confirm that you have used the files from the example folder (https://github.com/x011/SecretPixel/tree/main/examples)? I will try to work on the PNG and TIFF cases soon. Thanks for the paper :)

  • krypton

    Data encryption at rest and IAM for Python (by krptn)

    Project mention: Krptn: User Auth and Encryption of data at rest, derived from users’ credentials | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-12

    Hello, all!

    Encryption and user authentication are crucial to cybersecurity.

    Encryption can be implemented at various levels. I believe that handling encryption at the application level is the most secure since it decreases the attack surface. For example, the SQL server doesn’t get to see the plaintext.

    Krptn is a piece of software I’m currently building which could be used as a user authentication service, which also handles encryption (at the application level) of the user’s associated data (e.g.: the users’ phone number).

    (Krptn only has a Python API right now.)

    It would run in the same server instance as your Python code, so no need to host anything new (decreased complexity) - just install the Python module and call the APIs.

    For additional security, I designed the system to derive the encryption keys from the users’ credentials. This prevents an attacker who gains access to the database from being able to decrypt all the data since the encryption keys aren’t stored anywhere. Additionally, each user gets an asymmetric keypair. This enables users to share specific pieces of information with each other.

    I know that, for many projects, this level of encryption is not required to secure their system and hence not everyone would benefit from using this. But I hope that for the people who do wish to have such security, this project will help.

    It would be much appreciated if you would try this out. Please let me know what you think of this! Also please provide some feedback if you have any!
