leekspeak

convert an onion address into a 5 word phrase, and back

How it works

Each .onion address is a base32 encoding of the first 10 bytes of a SHA1 hash of the public key of the hidden service.

By decoding the base32 we get 10 bytes of binary data, we break this up into 5 blocks of 2 bytes (uint16_t) and map those to a wordlist containing 65536 words.

This create a unique 5 word listing that can be memorized like a diceware/correct-horse-battery-staple password.

By taking back in the 5 word passphrase and mapping it against the same wordlist, we can reconstruct the original 10byte value, reencode and it reconstruct the .onion address.

Building

user@subgraph:~/src/leekspeak$ make
gcc -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu99 -O2 -s -o leekspeak leekspeak.c onion.c

Usage

user@subgraph:~/src/leekspeak$ ./leekspeak encode 2b5dj4wasoaww3k6.onion
chokidars defrosts glads reprisals smirky 
user@subgraph:~/src/leekspeak$ ./leekspeak decode chokidars defrosts glads reprisals smirky
2b5dj4wasoaww3k6.onion

A python version also exists and is interoperable (if you're on Tails or another system where you don't have access to a compiler) pyleek
