Unity is Strength - Collaboration is Key

and_so_it_begins.png

CryptPad is the zero knowledge realtime collaborative editor. Encryption carried out in your web browser protects the data from the server, the cloud and the NSA. This project uses the CKEditor Visual Editor and the ChainPad realtime engine. The secret key is stored in the URL fragment identifier which is never sent to the server but is available to javascript so by sharing the URL, you give authorization to others who want to participate.

Installation

Cryptpad depends on the Nodejs runtime. We recommend installing it via NVM to ensure that you are running an up to date version.

Once you have a recent runtime:

git clone <this repo>
cd cryptpad
npm install
npm install -g bower ## if necessary
bower install

## copy config.js.dist to config.js
cp config.js.dist config.js

## modify configuration to use your own mongodb instance
## for example aon the default mongodb port `mongodb://localhost:27017/demo_database`
$EDITOR config.js

node ./server.js

Maintenance

To get access to the most recent codebase:

cd /your/cryptpad/instance/location;
git pull

To update dependencies:

# clientside dependencies
bower update;

# serverside dependencies
npm update;

To reset your instance of Cryptpad and remove all the data that is being stored:

If you are using the leveldb adaptor, this is as simple as deleting the folder which contains your leveldb datastore:

# change into your cryptpade directory
cd /your/cryptpad/instance/location;

# delete the datastore
rm -rf ./cryptpad.db

If you are using the mongodb adaptor, drop the relevant collection.

Testing

To test CryptPad, go to http://your.server:3000/assert/

You can use WebDriver to run this test automatically by running TestSelenium.js but you will need chromedriver installed. If you use Mac, you can brew install chromedriver.

Security

CryptPad is private, not anonymous. Privacy protects your data, anonymity protects you. As such, it is possible for a collaborator on the pad to include some silly/ugly/nasty things in a CryptPad such as an image which reveals your IP address when your browser automatically loads it or a script which plays Rick Astleys's greatest hits. It is possible for anyone who does not have the key to be able to change anything in the pad or add anything, even the server, however the clients will notice this because the content hashes in ChainPad will fail to validate.

The server does have a certain power, it can send you evil javascript which does the wrong thing (leaks the key or the data back to the server or to someone else). This is however an active attack which makes it detectable. The NSA really hates doing these because they might get caught and laughed at and humiliated in front of the whole world (again). If you're making the NSA mad enough for them to use an active attack against you, Great Success Highfive, now take the battery out of your computer before it spawns Agent Smith.

Still there are other low-lives in the world so using CryptPad over HTTPS is probably a good idea.
