  • ots

    🔐 Share end-to-end encrypted secrets with others via a one-time URL

  • We're considering adding additional password protection as a new feature (see https://github.com/sniptt-official/ots/issues/2) - this password can then be shared via other channels with the recipient.

  • 0bin

    Client side encrypted pastebin

  • Yep, that's what we do with https://0bin.net.

    Also you must avoid client side 3rd party scrips, so no analytics.

    We also had several demands for a url shortener but couldn't find a sustainable way to do it. 3rs party have rate limits and hosting our own would get us back to step one.

    DMCA also gets really interesting when you get a request but they don't include the hash because some of their tooling strip it along the way.

    Anyway, even with all thay, you still trust us since we could inject a rogue script at any time in the page.

    So the process really protect only us as host (see our faq), but if you want real security, use pgp or signal.

    Go library for accessing and embedding Tor clients and servers

    Can put it on Tor and give an ephemeral onion link (I wrote https://github.com/cretz/bine to help w/ just these use cases). So people could access via Tor browser or via the same CLI with a "client"/"get" command. Can even have the ephemeral server determine its been HTTP "GET"d and kill itself. Then you don't even need a public website.

  • yopass

    Secure sharing of secrets, passwords and files

  • snip

    Discontinued 🔐 A simple developer-friendly CLI for managing secrets (by sniptt-official)

  • Hi, I am one of the co-creators of Sniptt.

    We faced this ourselves countless times, and it is exactly why we created both OTS and Snip (https://github.com/sniptt-official/snip - like OTS but with the ability to persist secrets and also create shared vaults etc.).

    Pleased to say that self-hosted options for both OTS and Snip are currently top of our roadmap.

    Keep an eye on the repos for updates! :)
