rubin

An IRC/E-Mail/XMPP collector backend written in Ruby. Early-stage work in progress

Overview

connects to various message sources (IRC-only, at the moment)
does only write encrypted data to disk (NaCl)
modular architecture
RESTful API

This project aims to replace classical IRC bouncers in a safe fashion. Every piece of data written to disk is encrypted via djb's NaCl crypto library.

Prerequisities: Ruby, Bundler (https://bundler.io), SQLitebrowser (http://sqlitebrowser.org)

API

This project utilizes a RESTful API.

Pull a message from the database

/key-ID/message-ID e.g.: http://foo.bar/42/9238

Show all message-IDs for the key-ID

/key-ID/all e.g.: http://foo.bar/42/all`

Output host key

/key e.g.: http://foo.bar/key

more to come ;)

Usage

At the moment, this project is not ready for the end user since it is still developed.

download project
change to the project directory
bundle install
ruby classes.rb
quit program
open SQLitebrowser
open table clients
add your IRC server:
- id - incrementing number. Must not be used twice
- description - the name of your IRC channel. For example: foobar123
- host - URL of the IRC server with port. Only SSL-encrypted connections are supported. For example: https://irc.freenode.org:7000)
- type - since IRC is the only supported protocol at the moment: irc
- nick - your desired nick
- realname - your desired realname
- channel - the channel that should be listened
add a client
- build a client ;)
- create a NaCl keypair (preferably with RbNaCl, other key formats were not tested)
- Base64 the public key
- edit the keys table:
  - id - incrementing number
  - description - your internal name for that device
  - `private key - DO NOT edit this field! Bad things would happen... (every saved public key with a private key is considered a host key...)
  - revoked - 0 if the key's fresh, 1 if it is revoked. It won't be used from that moment on
write all changes to the database
run ruby classes.rb
enjoy! :)
