🧾 DWPaste — Simple & Secure Paste Service

The **DarkWorld Paste Service (DWPaste)** provides a quick, secure, and privacy-focused way to share text, logs, and code snippets online. Powered by **PrivateBin**, DWPaste ensures that all data is end-to-end encrypted — meaning the server has *zero knowledge* of what users share.

It’s ideal for developers, IRC users, and system administrators who need a reliable way to share snippets without sacrificing privacy.

🔒 Technology Behind DWPaste

DWPaste is powered by **PrivateBin**, an open-source, zero-knowledge pastebin. PrivateBin is a refactored and enhanced fork of the original **ZeroBin** project by Sébastien Sauvage.

Current version: 2.0.1

All encryption and decryption happen **entirely in your browser** using **256-bit AES (Galois Counter Mode)**. This ensures that even the DWPaste server cannot read or recover your data — full client-side confidentiality.

⚙️ Key Features

• 🧠 **Zero-Knowledge Encryption** – Data is encrypted/decrypted in your browser only.
• 🕒 **Expiring Pastes** – Set paste lifetime (e.g., 10 mins, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week).
• 🔐 **Optional Passwords** – Protect your paste with an additional password.
• 💬 **Comment Support** – Optionally allow comments on shared pastes.
• 🗑️ **Burn After Reading** – Create one-time pastes that delete after being viewed.
• 🌈 **Syntax Highlighting** – Ideal for sharing programming code or IRC logs.
• 🚫 **No User Tracking** – No cookies, ads, analytics, or server-side logs.

🧰 Use Cases

• Sharing IRC logs privately between users or staff.
• Posting configuration files or error logs for troubleshooting.
• Sharing snippets of source code securely.
• Temporary message sharing without leaving traces.

🧠 How It Works

1. You write or paste your text/code in the DWPaste editor. 2. Before upload, it’s encrypted locally in your browser. 3. The server stores only the encrypted data. 4. The paste URL includes a decryption key as a hash fragment (after the `#`),

  which never gets sent to the server.  

5. When someone opens your paste link, their browser decrypts it locally.

This design guarantees **plausible deniability** for server operators — they cannot access or verify paste contents.

🧩 Technical Overview

• Software: **PrivateBin 2.0.1**
• Encryption: **AES-256 GCM** (Client-side)
• Backend: **PHP 8 / Nginx / MariaDB**
• License: **AGPLv3 (Open Source)**
• Maintained by: **DarkWorld SysOps Team**

🛡️ Security Notice

Since encryption happens client-side, losing the paste URL or password means the data **cannot be recovered**. For maximum privacy, avoid sharing sensitive credentials or personal data through untrusted links.
