June 5, 2015 at 09:07RedditStorage: comments on the site as a storage of encrypted files
See the long and meaningless text in the comments? Maybe this is crazy nonsense, or maybe a cleverly encrypted piece of information!
Yes, the RedditStorage application does not yet know how to encrypt its fragments in the form of readable text, but the beginning has already been made. RedditStorage writes data in RAW format in subreddits, allowing you to effectively hide important encrypted information on a publicly accessible “hosting”, that is, on a regular social network site.
Binary files are translated into text encoding and processed by AES cipher, after which the user can select a subreddit to keep the secret. When restoring a file, the process is performed in the reverse order.
Unfortunately, comments on Reddit have a size limit of 10,000 characters. If the file exceeds the limit, it will be divided into several comments in the same discussion thread, in the form of messages that correspond to each other.
To use the application requires an account on Reddit, preferably with karma greater than 1; private subredd where this account will be a moderator (make sure to set low spam filtering for your messages and comments); Python 2.7 Crypt.py; wxPython.
The author plans to add the function of automatic generation of subreddits to the application, so as not to create them manually, and the function of saving the password between sessions. If you have any ideas, suggest it!
