What is this all about?
The idea for
fastcry.pt arose when
I was in need for a quick and easy solution to
share data with a 3rd party. The problem was, I
only had an email address and the phone number
(with WhatsApp contact) of the person I wanted to
send the data. I ended up sending an encrypted ZIP
file via mail and provide the password to him via
WhatsApp. This worked but wasn't suffient to me. So
I sat down a weekend and built this service. It is
meant to be quick, easy to use, anonymous and
secure - which I think I accomplished.
Technical details
For the tech nerds of you, here are some technical
details of how the service works. The service is
written in
Perl
and is driven by the fabulous
mojolicious
framework. The files are stored
AES256-CBC
(Salted) at rest on the hard disc. No user (meta)
data is stored with the file - no logs*, no IPs, no
nothing. If you stored a note and forgot the
password - well, that's bad luck. As this is meant
to quickly share a note and not to store them for
eternity, there is a cronjob running, which will
delete any note, which is older than 30 days.
* = At least not on my side. The service is
Cloudflare-powered
and I guess they are logging at least some IPs
and stuff. If's that's a concern to you, you
probably shouldn't use this service
Shout outs
As I am a lazy person, I used some handy 3rd party
scripts/technologies for this service. Special
thanks to all those developers helping others by
publishing their stuff.
And as I am happily benifiting from all these Open
Source products, I have decided to make the sources
of fastcry.pt also
public.
