List of changes proposed in this PR:

  • Add CloakBin to the Pastebins recommendation page

CloakBin is an open-source, zero-knowledge encrypted pastebin that meets all minimum requirements:

  • Open source: github.com/Ishannaik/CloakBin
  • Client-side encryption before server transmission: AES-256-GCM encryption runs entirely in the browser; the server only stores ciphertext. The decryption key stays in the URL fragment (#key), which browsers never send to servers.
  • Password-protected files: Optional password protection adds a second layer on top of the URL fragment key

Additional features: burn-after-reading, custom expiry (1 hour to permanent), syntax highlighting for 40+ languages, no account required.

Conflict of interest disclosure: I am the developer of CloakBin.

I got the same PR, so did a code review for CloakBin, and can share my feedback here, in case it is helpful during your review:

lissy93/awesome-privacy#420 (comment)

TL;DR - cool project, but very young. Has some security issues which need to be addressed, as well as some minor privacy issues.
