It's like SnapChat... for Passwords.
This is a webapp that lets you share passwords securely.
Let's say you have a password. You want to give it to your coworker, Jane. You could email it to her, but then it's in her email, which might be backed up, and probably is in some storage device controlled by the NSA.
You could send it to her over chat, but chances are Jane logs all her messages because she uses Google Talk, and Google Talk logs everything.
You could write it down, but you can't find a pen, and there's way too many characters because your Security Person, Paul, is paranoid.
So we built SnapPass. It's not that complicated, it does one thing. If Jane gets a link to the password and never looks at it, the password goes away. If the NSA gets a hold of the link, and they look at the password... well they have the password. Also, Jane can't get the password, but now Jane knows that not only is someone looking in her email, they are clicking on links.
Anyway, this took us very little time to write, but we figure we'd save you the trouble of writing it yourself, because maybe you are busy and have other things to do. Enjoy.
- Redis.
- Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.3+.
$ pip install snappass $ snappass * Running on https://0.0.0.0:5000/ * Restarting with reloader
You can configure the following via environment variables.
SECRET_KEY this should be a unique key that's used to sign key. This should be kept secret. See the Flask Documentation for more information.
DEBUG to run Flask web server in debug mode. See the Flask Documentation for more information.
STATIC_URL this should be the location of your static assets. You might not need to change this.
NO_SSL if you are not using SSL.
REDIS_HOST this should be set by Redis, but you can override it if you want. Defaults to "localhost"
REDIS_PORT is the port redis is serving on, defaults to 6379
SNAPPASS_REDIS_DB is the database that you want to use on this redis server. Defaults to db 0
REDIS_URL is optional and, if set, will be used instead of REDIS_HOST, REDIS_PORT, and SNAPPASS_REDIS_DB to configure the Redis client object. For example: redis:https://username:password@localhost:6379/0
Alternatively, you can use Docker and Docker Compose to install and run SnapPass:
$ docker-compose up -d
This will pull all dependencies, i.e. Redis and appropriate Python version (3.6), then start up SnapPass and Redis server. SnapPass server is accessible at: https://localhost:5000
